Expensive night out.
Retired DC Police Officer.

These valets are soft targets.

Eh, it's just these low level crimes that police and the court systems shouldn't waste their time on.

Inside Job !

****Some of the key fobs on more expensive vehicles are approaching $700 now. Gonna be an expensive mistake for someone.

 

[AssMan]

Harsh punishment is the only solution. More coddling and after-school basketball programs aren't going to fix this. So sick of all the blatant theft.

From the Post Article:

Tyler said the valet company is in contact with his car dealership to work out an agreement to pay for a new fob, which he said could cost up to $2,000.

I missed that thread. You know they're all out of ideas when their answer to soaring violent crime in the city is juice boxes and Vanilla Wafers.

Yes, but they can't hold that illegal firearm in the same hand(s) they're using to eat. Violence actually drops for that period of time as a result.

When did the Amish start driving cars?

If the hijacked my fob I'd be worried the thieves would use it to steal my car. The codes on the car and all fobs need to be changed.

Indeed it is.

Get something besides an illegal gun in their hand(s): juice box, snacks, porn, etc, and keep it there... You'll have a crime level drop for that period of time.

They wanted something with more than 1 or 2 horsepower.

Again? I was at RPM Italian when this happened. They took off with the entire valet stand.

Never get out of the boat
Never go to the drive through
Never use the valet
Never go to ludicrous popinjay restaurants in D. C.
