F*!@$% Valets

[shocksyde]

Lesson learned: The valet key exists for a reason.

Went to a parking garage, it was full so they were valeting cars for people. I put my GPS in the glove box and locked it. Came back, unlocked the glove box, and the GPS was gone. At least they were courteous and locked it back up for me.

I walked over to the group of valets and stared them each in the eye and said "I hope you enjoy my GPS, you fuck!" I then started telling them how to use it, such as how to set your home address. They were all looking at me with horror.

Fucking assholes.

"not responsible if we commit crimes"?

Doesn't matter; it doesn't absolve them of responsibility. Since they accept your car, they accept responsibility.

Pretty much. How would I prove it?

Unfortunately not. I made two big mistakes. Not using a valet key and not having insurance.

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

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

That's where my gum went. Hmm. Funny how you don't sweat the little stuff.

Maybe call a local news station, if they're the type to go though with some rigged cars and hidden cams. Try the fourth estate. TV news will go for this shit but nowadays with the economy so bad with any luck they might not be too into some guy bitching about valet parking and GPS systems.

So instead of calling the police to report a crime, you acted like a tool and walked off? No wonder people get away with such things like stealing a GPS. America no longer has it's balls...instead it's become a nation of cowards that refuse to stand up for what it belives in and what's right.

did you register your GPS with the manufacturer? can they track it? i dunno man, im just talking outta my ass

 

[ZzZGuy]

Should of at least filed a complaint with management.

Your user name has never been more fitting.

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

GPS units don't send their whereabouts to the satellites. At least that's what GPS companies say.

the same thing happened to me once in nyc. I called the police. I was told flat out that they can send an officer over, but it will be a waste of time as I have no way to prove that I actually left the GPS in the car.

management's probably in on it. After mine got stolen, I swore off valet parking garages in nyc. I'd rather drive around for hours looking for street parking than get ripped off again

No it doesn't.

Valet parking is a terrible invention. If you have a crappy car you won't want to pay to get it parked, and if you have a nice car you won't want a valet to touch it.

So, how much of a tip did you leave?
