yeah if you think this isnt common, just come here to northbeach and see how the valets drive everyones cars all over the neighborhood, they all wear blue jackets so its not hard to tell which ones they are, oh and they launch from every stop sigh and screech to every stop too, so its not hard to notice them,. I seriously want to sit on the corner of grant and green on a Sat night and just video tape all the BS I see them doo

LOL! my friend was a valet in north beach long time ago. he would take change, CDs in the cd changer, and spare M3 wheel. he says that if you take a couple quarters no one will notice. 75 cents a car, and valet 50 cars a night is easily almost 50 bucks extra. as for the CDs, don't take the one that's playing. and the M3 spare are full size spares, he sold a couple sets.

i used to sit on that steep hill near the school. i believe one of the valet places has a lot up there. a car that's going at WOT up that hill is a valet. guarantee.

I've seen them fools up in North Beach... what a ****ing shame.

Stealing **** from peoples cars, driving cars all crazy, and in general being a bunch of ****ing idiots.

no joke... that's why having a valet tune is so useful. Have a 2500 ref limiter.

seriousily I never valet my car.. i know it would be hella tempting for anyone to fool around in my suby. It just doesn't make sense to pay someone to have ur car abused.

I am pretty sure there are some fine print on the valet sign that discharge them for any liability in the event of any damage and stolen item or accidents.

haha... i remember you telling me that story like a decade ago! i never valet my car, but I know some valet guys at northbeach so I always get a free parking space if I can't find one. I park it myself of course.

btw, jz, you parked near by me on Monday... I was back in SF to visit my mom.
