Valet driver disconnects dash cam - how pissed should I be?
Airport parked - typically I take a different car, but traveling without the wife created a unique experience. Think I'll be parking myself from now on...
First file is the driver walking around the car, taking pictures, and getting in. 2nd video he realized there was a camera 3rd video starts recording voice, at which point the car is shut off... 4th video is him pulling the wires from the unit (camera shaking) 5th video is when the camera is plugged back in, the next video logged - when it is moved to the staging area. 8 days later... Not gonna lie, little pissed. Don't like my shit messed with.

Oh hell NO, I would immediately raise hell with the valet company. Especially at an airport where they already are price gouging you as it is and theres no telling what else they did with the car.

Airport shuttle service - the valet is how they work. Initially thought it was a good idea, as I've had some cars dinged/hit by shitty drivers in the past.

OP, do you take odometer pics whenever your car is given into someone else's care? If not, you should. Automatic time and date stamp plus geo code. Irrefutable.

Former valet here. They likely drove your shit all over. 99% guaranteed. I saw it frequently. Never did it myself aside from when a dude threw me $20 to wash his Lamborghini. Considering at the time I was detailing corvettes for about $100 I was a bit peeved. It got washed, but probably not the way he hoped and I still feel sorry for that car nearly 20 years later.

Worth noting that some states it’s illegal to record without consent, especially audio recordings. Not taking sides here, just advising caution as your videos contain audio and PA is a 2 party consent state (assuming that’s where the video was taken).
Might be better to just drop it and not give them your business next time. |

Don't bother resetting the trip ODO, though, 'cause they'll just reset it too, after their joyride.

I'd be furious. Anything they do with or to your car, other than move it, is vandalism pure and simple. The photo sessions was a hint at what was to come. Get his sorry ass fired.

I feel like people wouldn't disconnect dash cams unless they have something to hide...
