ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - The video is being called appalling and unreal. It shows a valet at the Hyatt Hotel in downtown St. Louis doing donuts, peeling out, burning out, revving engines and spinning tires in expensive cars, without the owners ever knowing it. Kyle O'Brien didn't know anything had happened to his 2004 Dodge until he saw his car being abused on FOX 2 Tuesday night, "I'm not freaking out about it, but it isn't that funny," says OBrien. "I would just think a valet service at a nice hotel would have to have more responsibility."

I valet park a lot in bigger cities...scares me to think they might abuse my new Hoe? =(

One time in Vegas I actually was still standing in the area when a dumb ass attendant peeled out in my car. It swerved everywhere and made that nasty burning rubber sound. I was ticked. Needless to say after talking to the Head Valet my parking was free for six days.

If I saw some guy do that to my vehicle.. not only would he be wearing the exhaust pipe from my car up his arse.. he would also be apart of the engine compartment.

At that point he is not doing his job in accordance to what one would think a valet service is. I would call the police and note what he did, get his name and information.. and then take your car to "your" mechanic.. and let them see what damages could of been done to the car.. with police report, and mechanic report.. you could if damages go after the valet service and the restaurant/hotel that they work at.. either all or separate.. each is responsible for any damages done to your car.. especially where he burns rubber.. those tires are not in the same condition which he received it from you originally. A set of tires? who knows.. I know my Mechanic (Friend) - could "find" something wrong with the car.. if you know what I mean?

I do know what you mean! ;) But valet park was $25.00 a day at this particular hotel so his bad behavior LOL gave me $150.00 extra in spending cash. Sooooooo, I feel free valet park for six days was fair;).
