Barn Collapsed On My F*cken Car!

[A790]

Uhhh... so I just got the worst fucking phone call ever. The barn where I was storing my MR2 (note WAS, not IS) fucking collapsed on my car. They can't tell the damage yet (since, you know, the barn collapsed and they cant get in), so I'm going down this weekend to have a look for myself.

I'm hoping that some divine miracle has saved my car. Hoping... otherwise I'm sunk... I'll never find another MR2 in that condition again.

Will get pics when I go down. I had fire/theft/vandalism on the car... I don't know if that will cover it. Though, since the barn is on the same property as his residence, I suspect that his home insurance will cover it... if not, I'm gonna sue the fuck out of him.

so did you just find some guy in the paper renting out his barn or what?

When I saw the barn is looked totally fine structurally- well maintained, etc. I don't know what made it collapse, neither do the owners. So far the owners have been very apologetic and forthcoming with information- we'll see if the car's destroyed, and if so, if they're going to willingly hand me a cheque for what the car is worth.

A friend of a friend. This is totally freak, and I'm not angry with him since he lost an entire fucking structure and gained one massive expense/headache, I only lost a car. I do hope he pays the value of the car though if it IS destroyed.

why was it in a barn??, its a flippen "mint" mr2, WHY WAS IT IN A BARN!!

You should have had renter's insurance.
The owner of the barn isn't liable.

how much did he charge for storage?

$200/season. He had quite a few different vehicles in there, as well as boats and other things. Rest assured, I'm not the only one that will be upset.

As far as renters insurance, he isn't registered as a business nor am I technically "renting" any space since it's listed as personal property. We'll have to see where the legalities of this go.

Holy shit. I sure hope there were bigger things parked beside you that took that brunt of the damage and maybe offered a bit of shelter for your car.

Apparantly there was a massive ass boat right in front of my car. I'm hoping that it took the brunt of it- a little bit of body damage is better than the whole car being written off.

Not sure where you live, but if there recently was a large amount of snow that has fallen or accumulated on the barn's roof this is most likely the reason it collapsed.

Its been happening to alot of older homes, and barns, ect... out east this season. I've even seen people out shoveling their roofs as a precaution. Funny site to say the least.

It sounds like you still have comp on the car so your policy will cover it less your $250 deductible.

that sucks dude, best of luck with everything!
