workers had no way of checking to see that the person that is coming to pick up

Nick, I like all of the recent issues you found. I would be livid if I ever had a ferrari and came to find out that the valet person gave it away to a random guy, but I doubt thats a problem I will ever have. Also i like the relevance of the Gasparilla article, I hope you were able to make it this weekend. It was a blast.
