What are my rights concerning property stolen from my vehicle when in the possesion of a valet service?

I recently used a valet service while attending a conference at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City, When my car was returned I was missing close to $500.00 dollars worth of property @ pair of oakley sunglasses, an i Pod, etc… I filed a police report, and submitted a claim to the parking service company which they denied stating that they do not accept liability for personal Items left in the vehicle and stated that this is printed on the back of the ticket. Is there legally any truth to this?

If liability waivers had any value, lawyers would starve! That said, however, I don’t think you need one in this case. Here’s what I’d do:

Write a brief (one-page) letter to valet company outlining the facts just as you have here, asking for remuneration of $500 for missing property. Include an itemized list of replacement values.

Say you’re considering filing a complaint with the Manhattan Better Business Burea with copies to various hotels and tourism and visitors outlets in the city to let them know how this particular service treats a good customer. Explain, too, that you travel a great deal for business and that your company as well as your clients would no doubt be pleased to receive a first-hand warning against this particular valet outfit.

Add that you look forward to hearing from company and that while you await word from police, you are reviewing legal options with an atty.

Valet company would probably rather pay than live through the hell you could indeed rain on them in a competitive business environment like Big Pomme. Works for me … sometimes.
