DaytonaJae Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 i'm traveling for business this week and my car is in the hands of the hotel's valet guys. The hotel has mandatory valet since its downtown and there are no public parking nearby. I'm going to have nightmares of them running the front lip onto a concrete parking block or a door ding from the car next to it or worse yet the infamous YouTube joyrides caught on tape. Anyone know of a discreet motion activated video cam system you can mount in your car for such a purpose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug123 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 You can get a GPS broadcaster for the car, the kind you would use to track someone without their notice. You know, the magnetized kind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Something like this? I remember this story from a while back. Caught Spying on Student, FBI Demands GPS Tracker Back | Threat Level | Wired.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savi01 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 One of those dash mounted cams that a lot of people are running these days could work as well. Just have it pointed at the drivers seat and on. I'm sure just seeing it there will scare anyone away from joyriding, and if they do mess it up somehow, you'll at least have a picture of the driver.

crowvet Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 i'm traveling for business this week and my car is in the hands of the hotel's valet guys.

I'm going to have nightmares of them running the front lip onto a concrete parking block or a door ding from the car next to it or worse yet the infamous YouTube joyrides caught on tape. Anyone know of a discreet motion activated video cam system you can mount in your car for such a purpose? When my car was brand new I went to a casino and parked by myself and walked what seemed like a mile. The next morning I had a big door dent:willy:I now use the valet and tell them my story. They told me if my car was damaged under their care they would pay. I now slip the valet drivers an extra $20 and ask them to take good care of it. At least the only ones opening doors next to your car are the valet drivers and not the inconsiderate people who just don't care. If your car is damaged it is pretty obvious who caused it Right? just my opinion but I think the car is safer in valet parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaJae Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks for the confidence. Its those darn YouTube videos that give valets a bad name I guess. Still my coworkers and I are nervous about both our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGenCoupe Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I wouldn't worry. Any damage you find on the car, go straight to the hotel and complain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
