There are a few voices of reason in this thread keeping it reasonably tame, definitely agree it's because he's an RS member though.

Maybe not a questionable call but a stupid lapse in judgment. By that same token while I think some of his actions were pretty stupid, I struggle to see that the owner is a mean spirited evil person who sets out to disrespect people's property which seems like what some posters are inferring.
While I agree that asking customers if he could drive their car to a meet is pretty unprofessional, I think it is out of naivete and that the owner thought that we're all members of this community and friends/friends of friends. I'm not sure if he would've reached out to a customer that was a complete stranger in that way. I can't speak for him and I don't know TS well, but this is just how I feel as an outsider that doesn't really have a dog in this fight.

It's my nature to be forgiving and to see the good in people as well as the opportunity to change when they are given a rude awakening. Some of you might remember ~a year ago when a bipolar man attacked my car and all of which was captured on my dash cam. I forgave the guy, didn't press any charges, and didn't go after him to repair the dent he put in my door despite what VPD offered. I felt like the lesson was learned and didn't need to pursue some kind of vengeance/retribution

His continuous apologies are irrelevant as it WILL occur again.
