i refuse to let a valet park my car.

but if you think a missing GPS is bad, my dad had the passenger side of his truck smashed in from the front fender to the rear when a valet hit a support column in the parking garage.

probly a big sign said: not responsible for lost or stolen items

is it even legal to have a sign/policy like that?

"not responsible if we commit crimes"?

no proof = gtfo

Pretty much. How would I prove it?

Unfortunately you can't unless you had a cam in your car.

FWIW, I used to be a valet and the only thing I've seen/heard stolen from cars were pens, gum, and illicit drugs

Ditto.

I sent them an email and I'm going to call them in the morning.

Too late, probably. Whoever did it probably realized they were busted and threw the thing out the window or dropped by a pawn shop on the way home.

As RagingBITCH stated, you failed to use your nerd rage when it mattered.

My question is this:
Why the fuck did you leave without raising holy hell?

yea. seriously.

I did raise hell. But I'm not an idiot and realized the effort was fruitless. As stated by others in this thread, the cops will do NOTHING.

What do you think, the guy who stole it would say "Sorry! Here it is! Take it back!!!!"?

unfortunately for every real theft, about 9 losers claim valets felt the need to steal $500, a $1000 camcorder, and $2000 in tools from their 1974 Pinto, but $20 will cover it...

It's a key that will only start the car. It won't allow the glove box to be opened, and maybe even in some cars it won't allow the trunk to be opened.
