Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General Bad experience with parking valet(s)

I used to have a Blue 1972 Mustang Fastback.
Had a Cleveland 351 Engine and a three speed ATX.
I kept this car IMMACULATE.

Went to Crab Shanty, way out on the end of City Island, one night, with my mother for dinner.
Mind you, this was 20 years ago, and I was a teenager not to be reckoned with.

Gave the car up to the valet, across the street from the restuarant, and walked across the street with my mother.
As we walk up to the restuarant door, I hear the squeal of rubber, and turn to see my car doing burnouts in the middle of the parking lot.
I walk back over to the parking lot, where I am stopped by another attendant,
and he tells me that I can't walk into the lot.
I tell him to get out of my way or he won't be walking home tonight.

I walk up to my car, and meet the attendant as he is getting out of my car.
I broke his nose, and knocked him unconscious.
Took the car and parked it right in the front of the lot, next to the attendants office, and locked it up.
Walked back to the restuarant and asked to speak to the Restuarant Manager.
Explained to the Restuarant Manager what I witnessed, and what I did,
and suggested that he call an ambulance for the guy laying in the middle of his lot.
The Manager apologized profusely for the incident,
and my mom and I enjoyed a dinner on the house.

I never went back there again.
