MY BREAK IN AT BEAUDRY RV RESORT

Yahoo Message Number: 22828
Hello, My name is Elaine Foster, and I am the English lady referred to by John Flynn back in March when he reported that my 2006 Dynasty had been broken into at Beaudry RV Resort.

I met John at Beaudry RV a few nights after I was burgled, and I gave him the details of our break in, and he told me he would post it on the Country Coach website to warn other people of the situation.

Anyhow, a friend with a Country Coach told me a couple of days ago that there had been a lot of activity on your forum, and so I decided to check back on what you were all saying. Firstly, I would like to thank John for reporting the incident so accurately, and secondly well done to all of you who contacted Beaudry management with regards to their inadequate security. We returned to Beaudry 6 weeks after the burglary and witnessed that they had increased their security by one night time security guard (NOT ENOUGH!), and after reading your posts, it seems that you Country Coach people were responsible for pushing that - so well done to all of you who contacted them.

With regards to the email posted by Rich Wiersma, the Risk Manager at Beaudry, I would just like to say that he has taken far more effort in reassuring you all about our 'incident', then he ever took in dealing with our burglary. It was merely DISMISSED, and his comment that "we are taking these recent incidents very seriously" means absolutely NOTHING.

John reported that we lost several thousand dollars, in fact we lost almost 165,000 dollars worth of jewelry, and not one member of Beaudry management even had the common decency to come and apologize to us for what had happened, let alone offer us any services such as internet, phone, fax etc etc. Beaudry, and their insurance company, were NOT interested in our break-in, which we know was 'prepared' in their service dept. Although we have no physical evidence to prove this, we have a lot of evidence to suggest it. Similarly, the motorhome broken into immediately after ours, had previously been in the service dept, and again the victims believe it had been preapred previously in the service department. If anyone wants any further details please let me know.

All Beaudry's insurance comany did was correspond with us for 6 weeks in order to gain all the information they could, then they dismissed our claim beause Beaudry could not be responsible for the actions for an unknown perpertator. They knew this in the first correspondence. All they wanted was all the information in order to defend themselves later if the case went to court.

Here is a question for all of you that have ever stayed at Beaudry.
Have you ever read the disclaimer they get you to sign on check in? It states that Beaudry are not responsible for thefts from unprotected vehicles. Yet our vehicle was locked and alarmed. Not our fault someone in their service dept unlocked a window in preparation for the break in. But my point is, that in the days following our break in they were still not advising people that 2 major thefts had just taken place, yet they were still getting guests to sign the disclaimer. In fact, I remember being at reception when John checked out and seeing how the receptionist just dismissed his comment about the break ins. She acted as though he had said NOTHING. It was disgraceful. Not only that, wouldn't you think that following 2 major break ins, Beaudry might think to put on some extra security? No. Nothing. I stood for an hour and a half at the rear entrance (where the thieves would have entered, we were parked on the back wall), and in that time NOT ONE SECURITY PERSON CAME PAST!

Finally, I would just like to comment about Rosemary's post concerning statistics obtained from the Pima County Sheriff's Dept.
She mentions 2 forced break-ins (which presumably would be ours and the victims immediately after ours). It transpires that Jim Case's situation was previous to the dates being queried. However, what is not mentioned is that a Beaudry Security Guard was arrested and imprisoned just a few months earlier to our break in for stealing from customer's coaches whilst they were in the service bay. We were told this directly by Beaudry, and when we spoke to the Detective in charge of the case he confirmed that it was customer's coaches that the guard was stealing from - not Beaudry show coaches. Funny how Rich Wiersma never mentioned this fact!!!! We were also told by a waitress in Beaudry's Bistro about another break in a few days prior to ours. The waitress was quite happy to speak to the detective about it, but meanwhile we can only assume that Beaudry Management persuaded her othwerwise, as her statement was then very vague. When we queried her statement with her, she commented to us that she would sign a new statement. But again Beaudry Management must have persuaded her otherwise, as the next thing we know we are told by Beaudry management that we are harassing her!!!! Can you believe that! We are the victims, and all of a sudden we are the ones being approached by the sheriff's department for harrasment!!!! Something not right with this picture guys!

Beaudry need to clean their act up. It is a disgrace the way they operate their park. We are taking this case further legally, not only do we want some satisfaction from this situation, but we believe other unsuspecting Beaudry guests should not be subjected to the trauma that we have. I lost every piece of jewelry I every owned, including my wedding and engagement ring, jewelry of my grandmothers, fathers, and aunts. Yet Beaudry and their insurance company couldn't care less.

So, if any of you can give me any helpful and relevant information to help me pursue this matter, then I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you
Elaine Foster

Elaine, sorry, but I don't quite see the point of you note. I presume that you are telling us that you carried $165,000 worth of jewlery and were inadequately insured. You than left the jewlery in the coach unsecured so that it could be seen and subsequently stolen. Even knowing all this you didn't check to see that your windows were locked.

Yet you think that Beaudry is responsible? What if the jewlery was stolen from your fixed home? Who would be responsible? Why is the motorhome any different?

I really am sorry that you experienced the loss. I do think that you are aiming your guns at the wrong target.

George,

Your lack of empathy is incredible and your sarcasm totally unnecessary and unwarranted. I think you owe Elaine an apology and while I may agree with some of what you said neither of us know the facts concerning Beaudry and its employees and security as these facts relate to this specific event. Without such knowledge there is no need to rub someone's nose in it. Is there?

Hi George,

I am not sure if you read all the posts back in March about this situation (if you didn't - then maybe you should).

Anyhow in response to your reply, firstly our coach WAS adequately secured. It was locked and alarmed, and our jewelry was located in the safe.

Our coach was 'scoped out' whilst in Service at Beaudry, and the window that was unlocked in preparation of the robbery was one WITHOUT an alarm sensor. The perpetrators knew exactly how our coach was alarmed and where our safe was located. I can go into a lot of detail with you about this if you wish - please let me know, and I will email you details directly.

The point of my post is to tell you all firstly, well done on getting the security increased at Beaudry, because I believe it is due to your emails that they have looked into increasing their security. The second point is to tell you that what Beaudry replied back to you with regard to prior burglaries isn't the whole truth.
And thirdly, to find out if any of you have any CONSTRUCTIVE input to help me.

Thank you
Elaine Foster

Elaine, I accept your point that I made assumptions about facts not in evidence and I appologize for that. My comment on your insurance status for example was uninformed, incorrect and unhelpful.
But I think that your point was made in the earlier posts, not made by you, several days ago. I think that your point with your recent note was to attempt to hurt Beaudry's business by repeating your allegations on this board.

I think you performed a service for us by having us informed in the first place and I think you performed a service for yourself by repeating and elaborating on you charges.
I will silence myself on the subject as I probably should have done in the first place.

George

I was not the person who posted this in the first instance, it was one of your own members.

I was only told by a Country Coach friend of mine a few days ago, that you had been talking about my break in on here, and so I decided to check to see what was being said.

The reason I posted something was to say well done on getting the security changed, as I believe you Country Coach people were instrumental in doing this.

The other reason I gave the details of the break in was to make sure the facts were 100% correct, and not to damage Beaudry's business.
They are doing that quite easily themselves.

Thank you for your apology.

Elaine Foster
