What a moron. That's no way to treat a nice car like that, especially when it doesn't belong to you.

Those parking lot employees would be facing a lot of charges if it were my car.

I thought we all learned our lesson form Ferris Bueller's Day Off!

I didn't think people did this anymore. That is scary. Good job to the news agency!!!!

In instances when I have to use valet parking (underground hotel parking), I always write down the mileage for my copy and also write down the mileage on another slip of paper and leave it by the shifter. This way, they know I’m keeping tabs on the mileage. I also treat the employees with respect as opposed to being a condescending ***** as I have witnessed before.

That operation should be shut down (at a minimum)!

You'd think the parking lot boss would not allow that to happen again.

Not defending this jerk, as that he was, but you know a real Corvette owner would not hand over their vert, top down to a valet when leaving on a cruise. Just wouldn't happen.

Ah don't you miss good old fashion investigative reporting, we just don't see that much any more.
