Basically everything you said here is incorrect...
If you're not in management you should definitely look into it with your excellent people skills.
I'll get you the bulletin # that outlines everything I mentioned.
Granted, we used to have an "ADA list" which is now called the "VEM list" so I thought it replaced the term ADA.
We used to drain the fluids, remove batteries, paint over logos, remove tires, etc... Now a guy comes with a wrecker and takes it without any of that being done.
So "basically" everything I said was accurate besides the abbreviations ADA and VEM.
