No, and that's my point. I have no means to collect evidence or to prevent it happening in the first place.

If you drive a 1961 Ferrari 250GT California Spyder, I know of a parking garage valet in Chicago that you need to avoid.

I don't valet park. Ever. Even in a rental.

Set up a cam in your car. That way, if they do it you have the proof. GPS it also.

As suggested, I don't valet.

Rental car, sometimes, my car, nope. I don't mind walk if I have to and if I'm really going somewhere with no parking I'm probably going to Lyft anyway since I do enjoy a drink or two... Or three
