P.S. Since "really rich" is a subjective term, I'll just restate it to wonder if the poster started calling the lawyer a degenerate drug user (with no proof whatsoever) because he had a level of wealth that angered him.
I don't like to speak for others, but I guess I'm speaking for others. If you follow Genghis' posts, he's very tongue in cheek & makes light of situations. Maybe his humor didn't grab you in that post, but most might.
If you told a story about tripping over a soda bottle & tumbling down a hill & landing in a lake, he'd ask which kind of soda.
This almost happened to me! I parked my rented generic car at the Montage in Beverly Hills and when I asked for it, a Bentley came out. I (jokingly) said thanks and walked toward the car. They gave me the keys and said something like have a nice drive. Of course I did not take the car, but I could have.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
The owner of a $300,000 Ferrari is suing Marriott International, saying a hotel valet gave his keys to a young man who was trying to impress a woman he just met.
The 458 is a great but fragile car. Wouldn't be surprised if all the maintenance / damage issues (including the electrical issues with the tail lights unless he was driving on the DRLs) existed before the kid ever got in the car. Kid is still an idiot though. As is the lawyer for keeping coke in the car. Lots of stupid to go around.
This. Generally, a 4-year old Ferrari is going to have loads of issues, unless it is parked 320 days/year and driven very sporadically on the few days it's out.
Here we have 3 stupid people: The lawyer, the valet attendant, and the thief.

I think he misread the news article about cocaine being found ON the center console.
Combine that with the fact that they sat in the car for a long time before leaving, plus the other drugs found, plus the general behavior of a guy that absolutely set out to pick up a hoochie and knowingly take a car not his....um....wouldn't a reasonable assumption be that the coke belonged to one of the 2 other than the lawyer?
I'm beginning to strongly suspect that people are not reading the original article carefully and relying on someone else reading it incorrectly and making comments.
I dont think this is on the level of car theft, it looks like he was just joyriding, but when its a Ferrari, well thats going to be treated different than if it was a Chevy or a Toyota!
Im surprised he didnt wreck it, cars like this are not that easy to drive, they are insanely powerful and the shifting is not the same as in lower priced cars, even the cop realized he was having trouble handling it.
I also want to know how you would define "joy riding" because the perp was STILL DRIVING the car when caught.
I'm waiting, this ought to be fabulous lol.
Because it's NOT theft when you are caught, if you say you were going to return it. ROFLMAO

I never valet park either of my Bentleys or my Ferraris. They do, however, let me (self) park in the front row. I keep my keys, get a good spot, and the kid gets a big tip to watch the car. Work well all around.

???
Perhaps, but given your own words about assumptions, why infer the young woman was a hoochie?
