Most expensive steak ever

[cravin]

On Tuesday night, I went to get a steak in downtown White Plains with a buddy of mine. Come out a couple hours later, and his car gets immediately brought up by the valet. I'm patiently waiting around 10 minutes to no car. I ask the valet and a guy comes running over 5 minutes later "Oh, I thought you were that guy outside. I parked your car over there". Don't think anything of it and drive off.

Wake up next day, and walk around to the passenger side of the car and the lower half of passenger side rear door is caved in. Scratches from wheel well to wheel well. You can tell that the bastard that ran up to me probably scraped my car all along a low barrier of some sort in the garage, and tried to be extra nice to me so that I'd just get in.

So of course I call the garage and they submit a claim but tell me "We will check the video, but understand that once you leave the premises, we are no longer liable." So I know that they won't look at the video and will just call me next week and say "We didn't see anything. Good luck".

I'm toying with having my legal insurance send them a letter, but from my research of garagekeeper's law, it looks like the liability does end once off prem.

Anyhow, anyone in Westchester area have a good body shop that they can recommend? I'm probably just going to pay out of pocket to get the job done right. If cost gets ridiculous, I will involve Geico.
