the car - Wow well we've heard from
[15]
viewers who said their personal items

[19]
at Lots surrounding LAX so we set up a
[22]
car with hidden cameras to find out what
[24]
happens come on why don't you want to
[28]
look at the video Hey
[29]
this parking attendant put his hand on
[31]
our camera after our undercover cameras
[35]
caught him red-handed look at that look
[39]
at your taking money right there when
[43]
you park your car at Lots near LAX
[45]
employees know it'll be there awhile so
[48]
when you come back some of your
[50]
belongings may be gone I had all these
[53]
things stolen out of my car that's what
[55]
happened to chance Reardon in January
[57]
this is where the took place he showed
[61]
us his car and spoke with us on FaceTime
[63]
from Washington State you know it's like
[65]
Here I am paying the money to restore my
[68]
car and you know and then they're
[70]
ripping me off on top of it
[71]
Riordan valet parked his car at Sam's
[74]
parking near LAX show you this when he
[77]
returned three days later and opened the
[80]
center console he claims money earbuds
[83]
and a flashlight were missing was your
[86]
car broken into no because they had the
[88]
key and he's not alone we found dozens
[91]
of complaints online about items stolen
[94]
from cars at many Lots near LAX so we
[98]
installed seven hidden cameras in our
[101]
undercover car the total of $60 and left
[104]
some money in the center compartment our
[106]
undercover producer then valet parked it
[109]
at various Lots near the airport at the
[112]
parking space on La Cienega she left the
[114]
car you can see the attendant drive it
[117]
to the indoor lot he never touches the
[119]
money but when another attendant got in
[121]
to deliver the car when she came back
[123]
the first thing he does is look in the
[126]
center console then he flicks open the
[128]
middle compartment and finds our money
[130]
he starts going through the bills event
[133]
setting some down in the middle and
[135]
putting the rest back you can see him
[138]
deliver the car and afterwards we found
[140]
a few dollars was missing this is what
[143]
were your employees we showed the video
[145]
to the manager Walter bola帽os what do
[148]
you think this is totally totally wrong
[151]
this is totally wrong another day we
[154]
parked at Sam's parking on 96th Street
[157]
that's the same lot where Reardon had
[159]
his items stolen our surveillance camera
[162]
catches the attendant getting in the car
[164]
inside you see him sit down started up
[167]
and after he adjusts the seat he finds
[169]
our money and proceeds to count it out
[171]
he closes the door then counts it again
[174]
but puts it all back as he pulls out of
[177]
the spot he gets on his phone there's no
[180]
audio so we don't know what's being said
[181]
but at one point he stops puts the phone
[184]
down then counts the money one more time
[187]
but again puts it back later we showed
[190]
it to the manager Sean shalyah is this
[193]
suspicious very I don't it twice and it
[195]
puts it back was he notifying a fellow
[198]
employee when we went to pick the car up
[200]
another attendant gets in and within
[202]
seconds he reaches for that money as if
[205]
he knew it was there he raises his
[207]
eyebrows as he looks at the bills then
[210]
pulls out of 2005 another five
[213]
he puts the rest of the money back then
[215]
folds up his newfound cash and stuffs
[218]
our money into his jacket I'm David
[221]
Goldstein with CBS 2 News can I show you
[223]
some video a second sir once you take a
[225]
look at No No a few weeks later we
[228]
confronted the man who denied it was him
[230]
even though he was wearing the same
[232]
orange shirt that's not you know that's
[235]
not you know who is nothing from nobody
[238]
it's not you know we're in the same
[240]
shirt and we also realized he was the
[245]
same attendant who took the money from
[247]
our car at the parking space as well but
[250]
he wasn't interested in looking at the
[252]
evidence why don't you want to look at
[253]
it look at you either why should you
[256]
take in my bishop or come on why don't
[259]
you want to look at the video hey
[262]
come on the manager says he never
[267]
suspected that the man was stealing
[268]
thank you for that because it alerts us
[270]
keep us on our toes and stealing money
[272]
wasn't the only thing we caught with our
[274]
undercover cameras this attendant seemed
[276]
to be more focused on his phone than on
[279]
the road check out his eyes in the
[281]
rearview mirror he's looking down as he
[283]
drives our car for about five minutes to
[285]
a parking spot and this guy sat in our
[288]
car for almost six minutes after he
[290]
parked it just looking at his phone
[292]
and finally this attendant found our
[295]
money we thought he was going to steal
[297]
it but it turns out he put it in the
[299]
center console perhaps for safekeeping
[301]
but of course not everyone was as honest
[304]
as him you're stealing money out of the
[306]
car but get it to me
[308]
of course the best advice is don't leave
[311]
items are money in your car but
[313]
attendance Bank on the fact that many
[315]
people are late getting to the airport
[317]
in a hurry and just forget to do the
[319]
right thing pat
