The joyriding driver was fired by his employer Nationwide Parking, the group instructed 11Alive, however Luck mentioned Nationwide Parking hadn’t but provide you with an answer to each the monetary and four-wheeled messes the valet has left behind. And what makes the entire saga irritating is that the valet drove the automobile such a brief distance and at such low speeds that he would have gained nearly nothing significant from the journey even when he had managed to deliver it again to the parking space in a single piece. What a waste.
