Wow: Airport Parking Lot Attendants Caught on Tape Stealing from Cars
You really can't trust leaving your car anywhere these days!
If you’re like most people, you don’t want to pay the exorbitant fees for parking at Los Angeles International Airport, so you valet at one of the many lots surrounding the airport and take a shuttle.
CBS2 Investigative Reporter David Goldstein set up a car with hidden cameras to find out what happens after you leave yours.
Here is the full script of his report:
“Come on, come on, come on, come on! Out, out!”
This parking attendant put his hand on our camera.After our undercover cameras caught “him” red-handed.
“Look at that! Look at that! You’re taking money right there!”“That’s bull****, that is bull****.”“It is not!”
When you park your car at lots near LAX, employees know it’ll be there a while.So when you come back, some of your belongings may be gone.
“I had all these things stolen out of my car.”That’s what happened to Chance Rearden in January.
“This is where the theft took place.”
He showed us his car and spoke with us on Facetime from Washington state.“It’s like here I am paying them money to store my car and, you know, and then they’re ripping me off on top of it.”
Rearden valet parked his car at Sam’s parking near LAX.
“Show you this.”
When he returned three days later and opened the center console, he claims money, earbuds and a flashlight were missing.
“Was your car broken into?
No, because they had the key.”
He’s not alone. We found dozens of complaints online about items stolen from cars at many parking lots near LAX.So we installed seven hidden cameras in our undercover car. -(CBS Los Angeles)
