I know what you mean, i always have them park it right in the front and tip them good. I also know some of them now and they take care of me, never had a single problem. Most of the places i go to have many more expensive cars than mine as well lol! But its still a risk, the one time i decided not to valet it (mostly cause i was only gonna stay for an hr) was the time i got keyed! It was terrible and cost a lot to fix but looks just new again, thankfully!
