gave away my car in valet to drunk roommate
Attended fla/ga football game. Stayed at the wyndham hotel on the river. One of my friends staying with me stole my business vehicle out of valet with no ticket or id at approximately 100 am. Valet admitted no ticket or i.d. and that my friend looked drunk , and "he was wondering whether or not he should give him the keys". He ran into some type of yellow pole, and trashed/damaged the brand new escalade and then got arrested for going down a one way/dui/violation of probation/driving on a suspended license/knowingly driving on a suspended license. $35,200 bail.The Hotel is playing the cya game and is denying to pay for my vehicle etc. They are trying to blame me for giving my car to him. Which I did not, I gave him $100 to get drunk and get a water Taxi or a regular Taxi. The manager, security manager, valet manager, valet company owner are all working to get their collective stories straight to try to deny my claim. Remember when you give your car to valet YOU ARE NOT GIVING IT TO WYNDHAM EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE WYNDHAM JACKETS AND UNIFORMS, they have created plausible deniability by interjecting a third party valet to try to insulate them from liability. The guy who actually gave my car away apologized and took blame so im not mad at him. At least he is honest and displays moral fortitude. The general manager Jared however is doing his best to make sure he tries to turn this on me, the customer for having a stupid friend. Kudos to the jacksonville police for being extremely helpful when they did not have to be. By the way the room we got was horrible #469. The toilet area is so small if your you can barely fit. Some kind of spiderweb/dust/santas beard stuff hanging from the popcorn ceiling. beds and pillows were nice however. Puke/some kind of residue on nightstand side. Windows older than me. Small room for $ 379.
