    This incident happend yesterday.

    Valero carpark's policy is ala valet parking because you need to leave your key with them in order to move and rearrange the cars should there will be more vehicles that will occupy the parking area. This is fair enough for a whole day's parking fee of P90 given this is Makati, but doesn't really leave you with a peace of mind.

    Around 6:00PM when we left office, we proceed to the carpark to get our cars and head home. I asked for my key and paid the usual P90. But to my friend, it was a different story. At first, I thought that the carpark boys were just fooling around with my guy friend coz he owns a bnew metal green chevy spark, but alas the dreaded truth came. One of the carpark boys admitted that he left my friend's key in a seat inside a mazda he moved after driving my friend's spark.

    They were many of them (carpark boys) and at first they seemed like taking advantage of my friend and they just said "balikan na lang bukas sir, hindi naman mawawala yun" without batting an eyelash. What the heck! They even asked for an overnight parking fee for my friend's car even though it's their fault in the first place the car will be left overnight.

    I intervened and demanded for the name and contact number of their boss/manager/point person. That's the time they felt panic. I even told them to call MAPSA just to sort things out, and I threatened to report this to Imbestigador and have the carpark closed.

    "sige kayo, mawawalan lahat kayo ng trabaho kapag hindi nyo inayos to", I said.

    My friend just asked for a written agreement that Valero Carpark will replace his whole alarm, pay his fare up to Malabon, and get the contact details of the unknowing owner of the Mazda to where the key is left. He even indicated that he won't pay the parking fee up to the next day (he was coding today).

    What other actions can you suggest guys? So that my friend will have a peace of mind, coz now even if we don't view it this way, his Bnew Spark is more close to being carnapped than anyone's car.

    hindi lang dapat alarm. dapat pati susian palitan na. reason is for your friend's safety. kasi baka na-duplicate na yung susi niya.

    I see. I will let my friend know.
    As per my bro-in-law's advice kasi, car keys nowadays aren't that easy to duplicate especially when he will have it back the next morning. But know knows right?

    Anyway, thanks for the advice.

    UPDATE:

    We went to Valero Carpark after lunch to see if my friend's key is already there, but to no avail.
    Carpark boy 1 said that the mazda was on number coding, thus isn't park there today.
    My friend told the boys that to settle the arguement, he will just bring his Spark to the casa to have his alarm and entire keylock replaced, at the carpark's expense of course. But they readily disagreed. They keep on saying that "ibabalik naman yun sir eh, wag kayong mag alala". But my friend is tired of their ****. They really don't wanna tell us the name of their boss or the owner and his number. He threatened the carpark boys that he will file a police report about this, and to my surprise, they agreed.

    Mayayabang talaga as in! I almost lost my composure but thought better of it.
    I'll update you guys soon.

    sir, wala bang company name and phone number yung carpark ticket? or any signboard? probably you can ask around din. people might know the owner. worst case, file a barangay complaint muna. then see what the barangay will say. much better do everything today. para they can not deny anything. take photos narin of the car and possible the carpark boys. video kung pwede. para walang atrasan na hehe

    Yes it's better na ipa blotter mo na sir sa barangay para nga kung anu man ang mangyari sa susunod meron ka ng document against them and it's their responsibilty to take care of every vehicle na magpark sa parking lot nila.

    Is this the Valero Multi-level Covered Carpark? (in front or Army-Navy Burgers)

    Or the "open-space" carparks?

    Why I ask .. The Valero Covered Carpark has an admin office where one can file complaints. The others .. its caveat emptor!

    Your friend should be very careful in leaving the keys to his car to some unknown person, and a brand new car at that too.

    No, it's not the multi-level carpark in front of army navy, but the carpark in san agustin street, second carpark to the right side when you're coming from citibank tower (i don't know why they name it Valero Carpark). The name in the customer stub is FAIRVIEW REALTY INC. under TIN # 000-454-542-000. I noticed that whenever I pay for my ticket, it doesn't come back with a receipt or a receiving copy of some sort. They just get back the stub and nothing more. And yes, it is an open-parking valet type that's why you should leave your car key with them.

    My friend already filed a complaint. We're just waiting for the result.

    BEWARE OF THIS CAR PARK! DON'T RISK YOUR CARS AND FIND A BETTER PARKING AREA INSTEAD.

    ^ No, they don't have sir.

    The mere fact that they don't wanna give the name of their boss and his/her number means their business is a shady one.
    Or I'm thinking that they just don't wanna let their boss know of the sh*t they did, for their employment's safety.

    Let the authorities get them!

    No, he brought his duplicate and the second transponder to bring home his car yesterday. He also did the documents as I suggested and let the carpark boys sign. He even filed a complaint already. Will update you guys of the progress.

    It turned out the car park owner is also a Metrobanker (we are), which I think will speed things much better.

    sana nga maayos na yan.
    mas maganda na palitan na nga lang yung alarm at key dahil hindi makakasigurado kung napaduplicate nga yung key.

    There's a chance that the key might have been duplicated, and while the car is parked on the lot, people have gotten several details about the vehicle already, thus, easier to distinguish if those crooks plan to do something.

    Giving back the key should not end the issue, replacing the whole car alarm & key slots should, without of course any expense gotten from the owner itself. The mere fact that they didn't have any contact details on the receipt should make you wonder if these people do something immoral every single time.

    Good thing you were able to distinguish who the owner is, and, you might just be able to talk to him as he uses the same bank as you do for these might just speed things up.

    One more thing, after talking to the owner, arranging things etc., you should demand to do a legal disciplinary action for the parking boy. Fire him if it's needed, with that you'll be able to teach his fellow parking boys a lesson AND avoid any future mishaps to be made by this particular parking attendant.

    GL !

Valero Carpark boy left my friend's car key in another's vehicle.
