Moose won't pay bill; neither will state
18 comments | Read story
funny how when things get tough we learn that the government, those whom we employ are not on our side in the end. somehow they forget who hired them, and who pays them.
shame on the state of utah!
Outstanding gesture!!
Further proof that everyone is better off depending on their own resources, or the generosity of fellow citizens than paying for bloated government bureaucracies which exist mainly to continue to exist.
Bravo to Dave Adams and his Adams G/3 Collision Auto Repair in Orem. He is the real hero in all this!
What is wrong with looking for the good instead of cataloging everybody's gripes? Kudos to Dave. I will also be there for my next body work problems on my car.
I agree with Doodles on the story angle. Perhaps DNews could do a follow up piece about the generosity. I think many people need news of human goodness right now.
I also think the State made the right decision in not paying the claim. This was just a fluke. Had the officers shot the car, then the State should pay, but they didn't, the moose did the damage.
As for Mr. Adams, I agree with what has been said. His actions are the real story here. What a true Hero! I hope the family is grateful for Mr. Adams' generosity.
I wonder, if they go after the State for "damages", what damages have they suffered? Mr. Adams has made them whole by doing the work for free. If they happened to "win" any money from the State, I hope they would intend to pay him back!
The "State Senior Claims Agent" stiffed a couple of college kids and should have his job performance reviewed before a judge reviews his judgement and the State pays a much bigger bill, including court costs.
Hooray for a classy auto body shop owner. Guys like him are golden!
Thanks go out to Adams G3 Collision Auto Repair in Orem. You sir, are a kind and generous man. Kudos to you.
Yes. Kudos to the generous repair shop owner.
