<p>Along the lines of David's thoughts, for additional attention:</p>
<p><span>The Lexus Customer Assistance Center</span><br/><span>1-800-255-3987, prompt #4 to give feedback about a dealer experience</span></p>
<p><span>It's sooort of a dealer experience and maybe sorta not, but it is Lexus, but they do take their brand reputation seriously. </span></p>

<p>It would seem more useful to communicate with either the dealership's general manager or the vice-president,Mike McGrath. Per the dealer's website: <a href="https://www.mcgrathlexusofchicago.com/meet-our-staff/" target="_blank">https://www.mcgrathlexusofchicago.com/meet-our-staff/</a></p>

<p>Did the folks at McGrath ever respond? Having the complaint there is a good thing, perhaps along with the police report, and those will be important if this guy ever acts out again. If he has previously, this is then another instance which should give somebody what they need to deal with the guy. </p>
<p>In some sense, this isn't as much a car thing nor a bike thing, but more so an employee bad behavior matter, and the related tort and likely a criminal matter. Which offers those avenues…</p>

<p>In some sense, this isn't as much a car thing nor a bike thing, but more so an employee bad behavior matter, and the related tort and likely a criminal matter. Which offers those avenues for response as well. While it's a "something that happened while biking" and aside from the truck in the bike lane, the issue is much more of a guy behaving badly. Another pathway perhaps: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bbb.org/us/il/chicago/profile/new-car-dealers/mcgrath-lexus-of-chicago-0654-1005212/complaints">https://www.bbb.org/us/il/chicago/profile/new-car-dealers/mcgrath-l...</a></p>
<p>I'm wondering if he may not actually be McGrath employee which could contribute to delays and other complications responsiveness. He might be an employee of a trucking company under contract with either McGrath or with Lexus. That's just a hunch, but sometimes that's the distribution model. Ether way, he's a bad apple that should be dealt with. </p> It's a matter of taking compl…tag:thechainlink.org,2020-03-11:2211490:Comment:11353612020-03-11T17:45:31.067ZYasmeenhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/YasmeenSchuller
<p>It's a matter of taking complaints seriously. It was reviewed with the moderators so the comments were removed. As I mentioned, it's a good idea to read the guidelines if there's gray area for you. </p>

<p>So I'm just going to say what it is. If you come on a thread and take a stance that sounds like you are taking enjoyment in someone being threatened or hurt, it's an easy choice to remove your posts. I apologize to everyone else's responses that came down in addition to CLP's posts but it needed to be deleted. </p>

<p>James, sorry I was late to action. Just been super busy at work and after being told not to post by a number of people (yes, CLP included), I decided to take a step back and see how that would go. So now I'm going to chime in. CLP, I realize you tell me this site is not important to you, you don't care, etc. but I caution you to read the guidelines on posting. I do remove people from time to time and respecting others is part of the free membership. </p>

<p>Everyone, have a great day and please continue your discussion. James, I'll keep an eye out and delete anything else like that.

<p>I think it's time to wrap up commenting since some can't find constructive ideas to offer. Thanks for your questions and support folks. I'll continue to press McGrath and others for responses and collaborative actions moving forward. Here's hoping they're as eager to work with their community as they have been in the past.</p>
<p>PLEASE DM ME WITH QUESTIONS OR IDEAS MOVING FORWARD.</p>

Can you share with us your police report number so we can reference it while filing our own police report if we're ever in a similar situation?
