car keyed at hampton inn-WWYD?
I was parked in the diamond elite spot the other nite in AL and when I came out my car was keyed--I have UTK plates on my car so you never know.
My boss made me go in and tell the front desk, but I dont see how they can have any responsibility in this, you do park at your own risk.
They called me yesterday to tell me they did get a man on surveillance who keyed a bunch of cars but they cannot identify him.
Has this happened to anyone else? Again, I dont see what they can do for me.
sad how people have to do things like this though.

What is UTK, since you appear to point it out as a possible contributing factor? Are you a Volunteer, and suggesting it was done by someone at a rival school? Might be good to go ahead and clear that up.

If you are asking whether cars are vandalized elsewhere, the answer is yes.
Report it to the police and, if the damage is sufficient to make the claim worthwhile considering your deductible and any impact the claim may have on your premiums, report it to your insurance company.
Or, live with the damage.

You should report it to the front desk because the hotel needs to know this is happening to their guests. You should report it to the police because they need to track crime (even if it is just vandalism) and so you will have a police report to substantiate any insurance claim.

Yes, absolutely report it to the property. If they do have surveillance, they may be able to pull a copy for the police or your insurance. Otherwise, it may age off before a request is made. They may step up their monitoring and catch the perp next time, or chase them off before doing the entire lot.

Really? Seems to me that I'd like to know which property this is -- if there's someone keying cars parked there, I might want to stay elsewhere. I'm not blaming the property necessarily -- if it's an ongoing problem and they aren't doing anything about it, I would -- but I don't think the information here is irrelevant to this forum.

If it were to move anywhere, I would suggest TravelBuzz since it's not specific to Hilton/Hampton Inn, but could happen in any hotel lot (or shopping center or office complex or airport parking or...)

Given that the OP appeared to be driving his personal car, probably NOT a rental car thread
