Philly Phlyer - bikes ripped off?

How does a race promoter's liability insurance cover what happens in a restaurant parking lot? I thought you were supposed to be some hot shot racer. How can you be so clueless about the logistics? Pardon me while I proceed to ignore you until you have something sensible to say. R The promoter should have warned everyone never to leave their bikes or valuables in their cars unattended anywhere near the city because it would likely be stolen. Philly and its close vicinity has a notorious property theft reputation that should have been conveyed to unwitting race participants. If Philly is notorious, why does anyone need a warning? |

MagillaGorilla wrote: John Neil wrote: Look who's the organ donor now? Read the first sentence. "At dinner." It didn't happen at the race. The promoter isn't responsible in the least. The only thing the promoters are at fault for is putting on a HUGE race that went off without a hitch. It did not happen at the race. Are you kidding me? The OP was just trying to express some compassion because he heard something bad happened to someone. I didn't say I was astonished - and it was my own car. Did either the OP or I act as if we were surprised? Dear College, First of all, answer this question you smart-aleck college student: Were you or were you not aware that theft and car break-ins in Philadelaphia and the vicinity were astronomically greater than in 95% of the rest of the country? If the answer is no, then the warning would have gone a long way to preventing this theft. Your logic is faulty. Most people don't look to a race organizer for their off-site security. I also don't expect the promoter to provide a full Wiki workup of a city, including restaurant ptomaine and salmonella statistics. I don't expect them to point out spotty cell phone coverage with admonitions to avoid breaking down in those areas, mortality rates at local hospitals or anything other than to put on a smoothly run race. They did. Well, except for the toilets. Then why do the promoters of Commerce Bank Philly provide security and deal with those issues? Answer: because it's not a cool thing when $4,000 bikes and $2,000 laptops get ripped off because people from out of town don't know the area has a high rate of car break-iins and theft. At least put a warning on the flyer. Your comments about the restaurents and hospital mortality rates is not on point. Magilla |

Maybe he should sue the promoter's heirs. Sue everyone listed on the release as being unsueable. This is the US of A, right? Heck, sue me too for talking about it. -- JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |

Gee, Sparky, do you think that hiring security for parking lots and riders just might have something to do with the fact that one is a major (for the US) race with a lot of corporate sponsorship and a big budget and the other is a collegiate race where there was _nothing_ for sale and no corporate presence at all? Try to pause between thoughts so you don't strain something. R |
