My husband and I moved from NYC to Albuquerque five months ago, but Adam Moving, Inc. Ripped off our entire household in the process — including needed medical supplies, artwork by both my deceased parents, irreplaceable photographs and spiritual items, plus all our furniture, clothing, electronics, etc.
We refused to pay extortion money (four times the original estimate) and called the police. They put "the boss" on their cell phone, who told me "Look, if you're not willing to cooperate, we'll lock your stuff in the warehouse and throw away the keys and you'll never see your possessions again."
They committed grand larceny in front of four police officers who refused to intervene saying it was a "civil matter." They also tried to jail my (innocent/never-before-arrested) husband, who is diabetic and had his hands damaged from diabetic neuropathy from nine hours of handcuffs. The police arrested my husband (apologetically! — big help...) while the moving van pulled out against my screaming protests.
We thought the police were supposed to protect people! We were so traumatized we could not sleep for weeks.
The police knew my husband was innocent and that we were victims of the criminal movers, and they made sure the D.A. Refused to prosecute him, but after two attorneys and months of aggravation, hiked prices, demands for release from liability, "We'll take cash up front only, " lies and cons, our possessions are still stolen and we are taking the movers to court. This has been a complete nightmare and not yet resolved.
The moving company is Adam Moving, Inc. Of Brooklyn, NY. We would love to join some class action suit and/or RICO action. This has been like dealing with the mafia — we are "beyond furious." Any help or encouragement would be appreciated.
