A valet attendant was busted taking a BMW for a joyride at Bristol Airport in England. Rob Butler parked his BMW at the airport while he was vacationing in Greece.
While Butler was enjoying his week away, he discovered that somebody had taken his car for a spin. He reviewed the dash camera footage from his BMW 340i and saw the culprit getting into his car and speeding through the crowded parking lot.
Butler shared the video on YouTube and asked for help identifying the man behind the wheel.
He also said that somebody wrote "Nice car" in the dust on his driver-side door.
Officials at the airport issued a statement apologizing for what happened and said they had taken remedial actions.
"Bristol Airport apologizes to the customer regarding the level of service received on this occasion, which was completely unacceptable. We take feedback such as this seriously, and once we were aware of the customer's complaint, we investigated thoroughly with the third-party provider, and the necessary remedial actions have been taken," the airport said.
"We are working with the business partner involved to ensure the normal high standards of customer service are maintained when customers leave their cars with us. Customers can be reassured this is an isolated incident, and we have liaised with the customer directly to resolve the issue."
