A German family returning from holiday were amazed when their own car drew up beside them at the airport doors � and other people got in. The vehicle they had left safely in an airport car park was being used by a shuttle service luxury rental cars in atlantaga firm.
There was no mistaking their car � the registration plates proved it was theirs. But it was bearing magnetic luxury rental cars in atlantaga signs for the shuttle service and being driven by a stranger to drive people to and from D�sseldorf airport.
The family called the police, who confirmed on Thursday that the car had been left with a parking service luxury rental cars in atlantaga � which also operated a shuttle service. And, Die Welt newspaper reported on Friday, the 21-year-old driver had neither a driving nor a chauffeur�s license.
The company initially said the incident was a one-off mistake by a temporary worker � but then the family checked the milometer in the car � which showed it had been driven 400 kilometres while they were away.
OK... one (potentially) silly question... how did the family know that 400 kilometers were driven while they were away? (I don t check my odometer when I park my car...though now, I might consider it!!) ;-)
To be honest. That s the first valet parking service i ve heard of at a German airport. As how else would the car park have had the keys? After watching the movie Ferris beuhlers day off i ve never trusted a valet car park.
milometer ????? Where do you guys come up with these words???? Might it perhaps be time to throw out that old, old dictionary you keep referring to? A much more common word for that would be an odometer ....
@Landmine: yeah... sometimes their words here are off just by a smidgeon... No offense, but it would perhaps pay to have a native English speaker proof-read articles once in a while before they go online. And for everything else, when in doubt, dict.cc and dict.leo.org are your friends. :-)
Absolutely disgraceful, the parking service owners should go to jail. Also you will find the word milometer in the Oxford English dictionary, luxury rental cars in atlantaga it is a perfectly good word. People who try are ten times as good as those who carp. Get a life.
Apart from agreeing with most of the comments about the risk of leaving car and keys with car service firms, I must admit that some expressions used here are new to me. Does - get a life - mean the opposite of - drop dead? As for a proof reader, the idea is not bad. Not all the posts from my computer arrive at the comment section in the same condition as they were sent. Inverted commas and some other punctuation marks are often replaced by signs completely unknown. No doubt this is due to systems or programmes not being compatible, but it can be quite frustrating..
You are correct, there is odometer, pedometer, never heard ANYONE use mileometer, except maybe Bigbob who has no life unless it is looking up words in a dictionary Landmine. Not sure why Europeans would even think of mileometer since they use kilometers.
luxury rental cars in atlantaga @Kennneth Ingle Here you go. What does get a life mean? Acquire some interests or relationships of one s own. For example, Stop sitting around and complaining�get luxury rental cars in atlantaga a life. [Slang; late 1900s] It was meant as a light insult. As in. You shouldn t have brought up the milometer subject before researching that word. As opposed to. F**K you your a moron. That is a very serious insult :)
Besser vorgesorht vie nachgesorht (Better luxury rental cars in atlantaga to worry before it happens, than after it happens) Er das nicht hort mus vielen (He who doesn t listen must feel) Komm ich heut nicht, komm ich morgen. (If I don t do it today, I ll do it tomorrow) And that ancient German Army expression, Never trust a thin chef
@Quatsch You mean Besser vorgesorgt ,als nachgesorgt But macht nix,(makes luxury rental cars in atlantaga nix),Immer Head up (Kopf hoch/Chin up), aber nach fest kommt ab,what sometimes happens if you try loosening a screw.

I have used these type of services quite often. They are way cheaper than airport parking. The one thing I have always luxury rental cars in atlantaga done though, is take a photo of the dash. Mileage and fuel tank. Does anyone not have a camera luxury rental cars in atlantaga with them right now, except those who a complete mobile phone antis/muffel. To date I have never had any problems. I also do it when the car goes into the Werkstatt. Now there on one occasion I found out that my car had been used as a delivery/parts pick up wagon after it came back with over a 100 miles on the clock. That turned into the service costing nothing...............
The company is too abominable. Not only did it deny to admit the infringement act but also it quibbled that the incident was a one-off mistake luxury rental cars in atlantaga by a temporary worker in order to pass the buck. However, the milometer debucked the lie. The company should receive the legal sanction. And others should also be warned by the incident because this is absolutely not a one-off mistake.
That is totally unconscionable. The police should charge the company with theft, and fine the driver luxury rental cars in atlantaga and company for operating with out a licence. Thanks for the tipp EXPat, I will be taking a picture and buying the club to put on my steering wheel.
@raandy Or just park it yourself and not have to go through a pedantic luxury rental cars in atlantaga ceremony. As per the mechanic. luxury rental cars in atlantaga Every place I have ever used writes down the mileage on the work order. Depending on the problem. I would expect a shop to do a test drive. luxury rental cars in atlantaga So a few miles is a non issue. but the 100 Ex-Pat saw is way to much.
Zeddriver, they didn t write it down on this particular persons auto. I have never left my auto in a airport parking lot for more than a few hours and doubt that i ever will in the future. Thanks, if I do I will park it myself and retain the keys.
