February 17, 201214 yr Active Members I've wondered about this, good reporting NBC 4! http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Hijacking-the-Streets.html
February 17, 201214 yr I have always been skeptical of LA valets. I don't like using them but you are forced to in some cases. But I make a note of mileage on my car and usually take a picture of the dashboard just in case. Is that paranoid? perhaps. But I also can put my car in valet mode (newer cars have interesting features) which limits the speed to 15MPH among other things.
February 18, 201214 yr Awesome report but a little shocking it took a year to produce. When I lived in SoCal I constantly argued with these BS valet guys about where I could and could not park. I won about half the time.
February 18, 201214 yr Active Members This is especially interesting in light of the difficulty in getting a parking space in LA. First you have ll of the phony handicapped stickers, then these phony valet spots. I wouldn't want to end up in a fight over it though. The valets will be around your car all night, you won't! Thanks for bringing this up, JKane.

Hmm, that just got me thinking: BMW, Range Rover, probably others have cameras that can view all around the car, plus fairly powerful hard drive-based NAV/stereo systems... Why haven't any of them offered a security camera feature? At the very least it could record a few stills whenever there is motion...
