Yeah, I'd have to say that's a damn good reason not to use a valet.

The header on the news story said a Valet, but the news anchor said it was an employee of the Chevy Dealer.

Either way, I'm sure that guy was fired.

Well, this isn't an odd occurence that things come up missing. BTW, I'm not saying that the previous poster on this thread is a thief, I believe that he is one of the honest ones out there, as I am sure there are more of, but I think that the two of us have more than a few stories we can point too that the bad ones kill it for the good ones. Kind of like the child porn POS's that give us legit photogs a bad rap. Most of us are honest, hard working indiviiduals who are either doing this for a living or are amatures who love doing it and would not phantom the thought of harming a child or anybody else for that matter.

Yeah, I'm also not saying all valet parking is bad, but I've seen and heard too many bad things about it. Even my parents refuse to use it unless it's a rental car and nothing is in the car. Again, it's not that I am accusing anyone of being a thief, or someone that likes to damage and joy ride cars. I just can't think of a single time in which I heard that the valet parking was great, good or professional.
