Why was the valet in the backseat?

While negligence can be waived prospectively, reckless and intentional conduct cannot be.

Then the question becomes, is the valet service operated by the hotel or an independent contractor?

Oh… Baltimore. Never ceases to amaze me. Planning for a trip to South Africa with my dad, I state that Joburg is one of the most dangerous places on earth. He reminds me that I’ve survived trips to my cousin’s house in Baltimore plenty of times.

Just this past month, the New Orleans District Attorney Jason Williams and his mother were carjacked at gunpoint. Williams had to coax his Mom out of the car in order to assure her safety. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

The idea that our entire city is a crime-ridden cesspool is a tired trope. Sure, the story is crazy — but if you think about it for a minute, is it really that surprising that a car meet in a not-so-great part of the city would attract carjackers? Sorry for the rant, but you don’t get to dismiss this as “oh, what do you expect in Baltimore,” when this is not, in fact, what you would expect in Baltimore. The situation could have just as easily happened in NYC, DC, or Philly. So, yeah, a carjacking in Fells Point would be front page news, but that’s not actually where the carjacking happened (fun fact — they don’t usually film in unsafe neighborhoods).

The fourth word was Baltimore and that was enough.

What are the first 5 cities you would name off the top of your head when you hear the word “car jack” ? I bet Baltimore would be on most peoples list.

The hotel and the Valet company know they are screwed. They just hope the guest doesn’t know it.
