An instant and their incredible survival story. But first, the nightline five. Number one in just 60 seconds. You may say im a dreamer but im not the only one i hope someday youll join us and the world will live as one trustworthylooking valet. How can you protect yourself from damage and even thievery . Heres abcs nick watt. Reporter out to dinner here at joes crab shack in newport beach, california josh getty went to collect his car. And the valet came up and said sir we dont know how to tell you this but your car has been given away. We gave it to someone else. Reporter joshs girlfriend jody started filming on her cell phone. Who gave it to them . The other guy thats not here anymore. Wow. I honestly thought it was a joke and i was laughing at first. I thought they were just playing around with us. I didnt think they were for real. Reporter no joke. Totally for real. There was two of them. Two guys . Yeah. One of them was a large man and he had like an ohio state tattoo right here. Reporter but no valet ticket. Said hed lost it and the valet coughed up the keys to joshs 2014 mazda. Im sorry about this. Im so sad about it. Like this is unheard of. Reporter now here in los angeles where the car is king valeting is a part of everyday life. Often theres little choice, you have to valet. Great job. Reporter after the oscars this comedian with a fake statue pulled this stunt. I lost my ticket. Reporter he never had a ticket. Have a good night. Bye, guys. Okay, lets go. I just got a free car. Reporter that is not his car. Why would you let someone do this . Im driving away with a strangers car reporter he returned the car after proving his point. Wow. Reporter valeting your car is sometimes a crap shoot. Even a valet told me that. Who knows who youre giving the keys to really . Its more like Valet Parking roulette. Reporter so we hired a 70,000 tesla rigged it with hidden cameras, and took the risk, valeted it all over l. A. Oh, dear. Yes. Three valets crammed into our exotic electric sports car, making it their own, checking it out, playing the radio, opening everything that opens and shuts. They even take the tesla for a quick spin around the parking lot. Reporter and another guy a little heavy on the gas. Hes really booking. Reporter thats nothing. Youtube is littered with even worse. This was filmed in a st. Louis Hotel Parking lot. Rough driving is not unusual. Full throttle acceleration, heavy braking, hard cornering, that kind of thing does go on. Reporter and damage does happen. Ed took these photos of bruised and scraped cars carelessly treated. This valet narrowly avoids disaster after he forgets to apply the emergency break. Another valet wasnt as quick on his feet. And this Hyundai Sonata somehow ended up ended not on but in the dock in fort myers beach, florida. All thats left, a spare tire. So what happens in a damage situation . Its really up to the customer to find the damage themselves. Were not going to point it out to them. So if its a scratch, the valet code is you keep your mouth shut and hope the customer doesnt notice. Once they pull off the lot, thats it. They can forget about any compensation pretty much. Reporter ed, who is a lovely guy, even hes done it. I brought the car up front, pulled it up to the curb and somehow i grinded the right front wheel onto the curb. Reporter so the customer came out didnt see it drove off, end of story . Yep. Reporter you still feel a bit bad about it. I felt terrible. But the supervisor said dont feel bad, she didnt tip. So this was like preemptive karma. You fellas have nothing to worry about. Im a professional. Professional what . Reporter so there is some truth to my favorite scene in Ferris Buellers day off. This is such a potential problem, chevy now installs a socalled valet mode cam in some new corvettes. This is the first time we tried the valet mode. I just got the car. Reporter and this is what dan cowell saw when he reviewed the footage after valeting in costa mesa california. 50 Miles Per Hour in a tight parking garage and checking for any damage when alls said and done. After paying eight bucks for parking youd expect our beloved tesla to be kept in a safe and secure lot. But check out this valet. He ends up parking our 70,000 baby in this back alley. And its a very dodgylooking back alley at that. Another valet simply left it on the street. And i also left a billfold of about 100 bucks in the center console. Those three inquisitive valets we saw earlier brandished the cash, then put it back. Two valets at l. A. X. Also thumbed the bills but did not take. This valet at a luxury Hollywood Hotel where we parked overnight remember he has no idea hes being filmed. He finds the money, counts it out, and slips a 20 into his pocket. So in the morning i paid a visit to the valet stand manager. We left our car here and unfortunately 20 was stolen by one of your valets. And we have it on film. Do you know him . People give you their cars. I dont think they expect this to happen. Are you surprised . Yes, i am. Has this kind of thing happened before . No. Reporter do you tend to have a lot of problems with the valet . Not at all. Reporter what advice would you give somebody getting in their car . Should people just take their valuables out of their car . Pretty much they should tack their valuables. Reporter so theres not temptation . Exactly. Reporter how else can you give yourself the best chance in this game ed ryder calls Valet Parking roulette . Simple. Ed earns 3. 83 an hour. Its all about the back seat. Start out by putting a tip on the dash. Before. Yes. When you arrive. Reporter preemptive tipping. Yes. What that does is it helps to influence the level of care your car is about to receive. Reporter a preemptive tip might lessen the chances of a terrible surprise a la josh. We had a good dinner, came out, we handed the valet our claim slip for the car, and 5 for the park fee, and we kind of stepped away and were standing there waiting and the valet came up and said sir, we dont know how to tell you this, but your car has been given away. We gave it to someone else. Reporter and his car is still missing. Laz parking which runs the valet stand tells us regrettably it appears our Company Policies and procedures were not followed, and we have apologized and are actively supporting the customer whose vehicle was affected. The only clues, vague descriptions of the men who were given the keys, hopped in and drove away. Other guy had a goatee and the other one was shorter red shirt.

And we wear the dresses again, put them on a motorcycle jacket, you can rock it out and have a nice time. Reporter getting to rewear your dress can really make a difference. The average bridesmaid spends a total of 1,700. From the dress to the Bachelorette Party to the wedding gift. And theres another fresh idea coming to the rescue. Rentals. My motto is if you know youre not going to wear it again why not just rent . Reporter corey hardy started little borrowed dress, a website where bridesmaids can rent dresses for as little as 50.
