“On around may 28th 2006- upon return from work that evening, the floor of my car was flooded- I was in total shock. I was about to go on vacation, I dried all the floor and aired it out etc. Upon my return from vacation, it was worse than ever- the floor was again soaked, it in turn had damaged the computer system in my car and that in turn had caused the battery to drain. I had it towed to my mechanics shop- the following happened, the engine seized as a result of all the water that made its way into the car, and computer system totally destroyed. …”
