someone stole my STHIL line trimmer..@the shop

DAMN! i took it into the shop. the on/off switch was acting funny. sometimes it wouldnt shut off. i worked it hard for 5 hours a few weeks ago.

anyways took it in for a check up. they wanted $125+ for a tune up, and i politely declined..what,,spark plug, air filter..whatelse? they said they needed a week. they took it apart and found nothing. switch works fine. they were to charge me $51...whatever. they never called me back. i finally called them after about 12 days. they said it was done, switch is fine, diagnostic was going to be $51 dollars. wife went to get it. they couldnt find it. i gave them 2 more days, and called them again. they told me they had a break in, and lost 3 line trimmers. one was mine! they looked mine up, and found that i bought it from them 5 years ago. the owner gave me his. a two year old machine. it runs fine, but i think something is unbalanced. the head vibrates more than my old one. any clues? should i mention it to him? he was bumming, and i didnt want to kick him when he was down. they still charged me the $51!!

maybe i'll let the sting of the break-in cool down and take it back to him. the unit is super clean. way cleaner than the one i took to them.
