August 8th: Van carrying pilots being dropped off in the LA area gets stolen by homeless hooligans when the driver goes to the front desk. A man and a woman are the culprits. 5 minutes later, police pull in to my hotel parking lot and found the van with only the woman inside. Turns out the van had a GPS tracking device in it, and my hotel is literally across the street from the Crowne Plaza. They cannot locate the male suspect. August 9th: The homeless man, suspect from the 8th, is seen lingering around the same goddamn Crowne Plaza hotel. While they search for him, the man somehow comes upon the room number and information of an in house guest, goes to the valet, and the loving valet brings around the guest's Camaro. THEY loving HAND HIM THE CAR KEYS AND HE SUCCESSFULLY "STEALS" IT. Holy gently caress incompetence.

Let me give a call to valet to have them pull my car around....." a hole-y ghost posted:Why are you at a hotel? I work in Hotels. Currently on a project at this location when I received an email from the general manager of our hotel warning our other properties in the area about what happened (We have quite a few here within a 10 mile radius). The email basically read "Here's what happened. Read it? Don't be stupid this stupid.".

a hole-y ghost posted:A project in that location? What does that mean and how does it work Currently on "task force" due to some accounting issues at one of our properties. Basically, old director of finance wasn't doing good work, ousted the old director, and until we find a replacement I have to be on location in order to help manage the property until we find a replacement. Boring poo poo. On another note, a week prior to this incident, a guest staying at this property left his hotel room at 1-2am, went to an ex-girlfriends house a few blocks away, broke in, shot her, and then killed himself. This area seems doomed.

At least on Sunday night you can avoid most of the drunk drivers. But not all. You can't avoid them loving all. Edit: Depending on where you come from, try to avoid the 105. You pass right by all the god drat poo poo south LA neighborhoods and I'd gather 1 of every 3 cars on the 105 near those areas is an uninsured motorist who's committed at least 2 hit and runs. These numbers I've seemingly pulled out of my rear end probably aren't far from the truth. Caeks fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Aug 11, 2016 |

when I went to California once I flew into John Wayne Airport and it was super chill...its single runway and super short too so take-offs and landings are very exciting! I also saw a Bugatti Veyron around there too.

Pudding Huxtable posted:lol check the cheesecake factory down the street, car bum is prolly rifling through their garbage You don't get many transients in Redondo, but I've seen a few lingering near the bars on the Pier screaming at people playing Pokémon Go. Redondo's known for being fairly quiet, but his bum is both A) ballsy as gently caress to go back to the same place the next day and B) has stayed in a few hotels before and/or knows how you can game valet into giving you someone else's vehicle. Particularly specializing in gaming lovely valet companies. On another note: Most hotels don't run the valet staff themselves. Hotels like to hire outside valet companies that handle all the paperwork and insurance so that the valet company is held liable - and not the hotel itself - in case some stupid poo poo like this happens. That means even if you are staying in a well established brand name hotel, their valet can be wishy wash and employed by fuckwits and the hotel will try to absolve themselves of responsibility if something bad happens.

I think the Crowne has been trying to keep this as hush hush as possible. Can you imagine what would happen if word got out that staying there costed you 30ish bucks to park your vehicle and it came with the risk of having it outright stolen?
