Do valets actually own the parking spaces they block off?
I'm at a restaurant and I parked in his space he tried to tell me I can't park there. Am I wrong, I'm still parked there don't really care to move.
It is private property and the restaurant owner can have your car towed if you park it in a spot not designated for personal parking.
Well...it's private property. The owner can do with it what he pleases.
Answer:
Actually the answer is yes and no. If the valet is employe by the restaurant and utilized the private parking lot, then he/she can exercise control over who may or may not park in the space.
In another situation, the valet service is a sub-contractor with contracts with the city for use of certain spaces designated for public parking. Such in Kansas City on the Country Club Plaza may reserve a certain number of spaces otherwise designated as public for use between certain hours.
and then there are situations where the valet has no control over where a person may park.
So, all you have to do now is to find out under which condition your situation falls.
