It's just a damn car. Get over yourselves. It's not your first born child.

I booked a short anniversary vacation at a resort in Ft Lauderdale and even though they have a small car and SUV policy they happily allowed me to bring my CT and parked it up front. The valet team were typical for the area, younger guys and they basically fought to be the one to drive it. That should have been my sign.

Overnight we got several alerts and when we left we had a lot of sentry notifications which as you know is normal. The only problem is that pretty much every valet got into it, opened the bed and even opened it up for other guests to look around. I’m pretty sure one of them even took it out for a spin but I couldn’t tell based on milage

I expect people to look in it and take pictures next to it. But man these valet guys were gutsy. You’d think they know that it records everything.

I called the resort pissed and they put me in contact with the manager of the valet department but he was the one showing it to people, so…

Beware of Valets.

EDIT: Yes, I put it in valet mode. Even set the speed limit to 50mph.

Welp, looks like your hotel stay will be free once you show the vids to management.

Might even get another free stay.

I'd just think that's the perks for being a valet.

Was the truck safe at the end? Yes? Did it have more miles than it should? No?

No harm, no foul.

Valet mode doesn't limit much, i think the speed is limited to 70mph? it should be 10mph.
Would be nice to be able to PIN lock speed.
