Do You TRUST When You Hand The Keys To Someone Else?

Is it me or does it seem that there has be an exorbitant amount of drivers handing over keys to other employees/person(s) and then receive their beloved vehicle on a flatbed?

It could merely be that the media is covering it more than ever, but what is going on the past several weeks? We saw a beloved BMW M5 go in for service and get rocked, then it was the Gulf-painted Ford GT that bit the dust when it was given to a tuner, or how about the recently found out mechanic who jacked up a silver Lamborghini Gallardo in Canada? It seems endless.

This time it was a Minsk car wash that ended the life of a BMW X6.

With all of this said, do you have less trust when handing over the keys to service personnel/valet?


An employee of one of Minsk’s car washes decided to drive around in a customers BMW X6. While driving at around 110km/h, he lost control of the car and crashed into a tree. The driver didn’t have a driving licence and was drunk, later registering 1.78 per mille of alcohol in his blood...

That's why we have insurance. It's just a car, the important thing is that no one gets hurt. Cars can be replaced people can not.

rob, I must say that I cannot agree with you that it is just a car. First off, I never, ever give my car to anyone who I don't absolutely trust. I will never give the keys to any employee. Second, the car, to some people, is not JUST a car.
