Another thing is the fact that I've seen they drive my car recklessly in front of my eyes. What keeps them from doing it even more behind my back?

Was a big story here last summer when a Valet took someones R8 on the highway, went around 160 and crashed...not sure how that all turned out.

But ya, would be a hassle to prove any damage etc.

It is nice though when they bring your car to the door and people are wondering who's car that is...then u grab the keys

I agree with this. I hate turning my keys over, but I generally only vallet at respectable places. Deep down I worry a little, but I am more worried about the every day A-hole whacking my door with their pos. At least with the vallet, there is a designated lot, and only a handful of workers. The sheer number of random people in a normal parking lot, unattended must increase the probability of something happening. Backpack zipper keying your car, someone backing into you, someone opening their door on you...... makes me sick thinking of it.
