I am having a current problem with my landlord. I own(ed) a bicycle. The last time I used it was in April, and then summer break began, and I locked it to the bike rack in front of my apartment complex. It had a flat tire, and the seat was torn a little. It was a little rusty, but that is how it was when I bought it used. I just wanted it to use around campus. I began working full time and going to class part- time in May of 2007. My parents moved to Tallahassee, and I began slowly staying with them, and not at the apartment, but I left all of my belonging (except for a few clothing items) at the apartment (including my bike.) I returned about a month later to discover that my bike was missing. I reported it to the front office. Luckily, as I was telling one of the ladies that work there, another resident overheard me and chimed in with a "oh, I saw the maintenance guy cutting the lock off the bike. He said he was going to throw it away." The manager was made aware of the situation, but she refuses to do anything about it, claiming that the bike was tagged. I told her that I had been gone for nearly a month, and that if the bike was tagged, I would not have been aware of it. She still refused to do anything about it. I called "corporate" and they are in the same mindset. What do I do to get these people to "fess" up to what they did and at least apologize and admit that they were wrong or even pay me back for the bike and lock they destroyed?
