I use valet pretty much exclusively for those reasons. I figure it's
worth a couple of bucks not to have to worry.

I was mugged in the parking garage of the Suncoast earlier tonight. Not
injured but definitely frightened. He came up behind me and pulled a
necklace off my neck, breaking the chain, said, "I'm sorry" and ran off
toward
the exit. I was within yards of the exit by the moving sidewalk and near
my
car, walking at a reasonable pace. I called 911 at once and the police
were there within minutes. I also stopped a bicycle patrol. I was able
(I am
a professional) to give a good description which I was told matched the
one on film exactly. They actually stopped someone on the lower level
but I
could not say if it was he - I saw a caucasian and this young man was a
light-skinned Black. Also I saw a normal amount of hair and he had a
short
buzz cut. And his shirt, while the right color, had a pattern I did not
remember. So let's say the jury is out. (Of course they had me try to
identify him not in a line-up but rather at a distance straight ahead of
me as I
sat in the police car.
I assume Suncoast has no liability -- does anyone know different I can't
think they are responsible for this occurrence, though my heart says
they
should be? I was proffered no release nor did I sign one. The jewelry
was
more sentimental value, perhaps a couple of hundred , and the chain he
wanted was a shipboard gold plated one worth maybe $50. Nonetheless if
they
find my little charm, I would want it back.
I have no advice - I am almost six feet tall and do not consider myself
victim material but here I am, age 70, reporting the second mugging of
my
life.
