Toyota Dealer Employee Caught Doing Customers Drugs

Have you ever had the feeling that the service guy at your local dealership is rummaging through your things? Perhaps even a few quarters are missing?

A guy named Jason knows all too well about dealership employees going through his stuff – on two different occasions, Jason noticed that things were missing from his Toyota Tundra after getting it serviced at Hampton Toyota of Lafayette. One time, over $10 in quarters were reportedly stolen, and the next time, Jason says about half his quarters were gone.

After complaining about his problems to dealership management, he received no response. So he rigged a digital video camera to the passenger side door and recorded his Tundra’s next service appointment. What he saw from the video footage was priceless. In one video clip, the technician rummages through his pills, even licking the medicine’s residue on his hand. He also takes some quarters from the truck.

Videos that were later removed from YouTube reportedly shows one man watching what sounds like pornography on a diagnostic computer.

Licking pill residue off his hands? Right… I bet that was a little vial of cocaine!

Instead of again complaining to dealership management, this time Jason took the DVD to the local media, and sent a copy to the owner of the dealership, along with a letter detailing what happened to him.

Consumerist reports that the dealer’s owner immediately fired the three workers caught on video, along with the service manager that ignored his complaints. Jason also received an extended warranty on his truck for his troubles.

Winona Ryder Hospitalized Over Excessive Drug Use

Winona Ryder was rushed to the hospital from Heather yesterday after she had some kind of medical issue while on the plane.

Winona Ryder‘s spokeswhore kept their lips shut about what Winona’s illness was, but it’s rumored to be excessive amounts of Xanax.

This picture of the actress in a wide-brimmed, cloche-type hat and sunglasses was taken just hours before she fell ill and sparked a mini mid-air emergency yesterday.

The 37-year-old Girl, Interrupted star was rushed to hospital on arrival at Heathrow and an accidental overdose of tranquillizers was today believed to be the reason.

She was taken to Hillingdon hospital, in West London, soon after arriving in England just after noon.

The waif-like American, who made her name in Edward Scissorhands starring Johnny Depp with whom she also had a relationship, is known to hate flying.

And she is thought to have collapsed twice on Flight 282 after taking too many Xantax pills, which are used to combat anxiety.

Although her publicist refused to confirm the nature of the star’s illness last night, she said her client was discharged an hour later ‘in good health’.

Mara Buxbaum said: ‘She did fall ill on a plane and as a precautionary measure they took her to hospital.

‘She was there for an hour. She’s in good health. There’s no drama.’

I feel that their spokespeople should be held accountable, always ignoring potential drug issues — pretending the problem doesn’t exist.
