If only there were some sort of entities who were tasked with enforcing the laws and solving crimes. Exactly. I want something I can enjoy not just park and look at. Yeah, easier said than done there. Atlanta area police are reportedly very reluctant to step in and help even if you can literally say you (maybe some paraphrasing) tracked the GPS to what is clearly a chop shop, watching it be gutted at a mechanic shop somehow working on cars at 2am on a Saturday night. A contributor for VINWiki documented his experience in exactly that kind of situation on their YouTube channel. I think someone used fake or stolen credentials to rent from his exotics rental business, and they basically chased him to Atlanta after they cut the wrong wires and didn't fully disable the GPS.

If you were willing to pay for three weeks of parking at an airport it should have at least occurred to you that renting a giant ass limo to take you there and pick you up would be cheaper. Rolls aside. I know I get my Rolls mixed up with the others in the parking garage all the time.

Freddie's Dead Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Never parked at ATL, so I went to the airport web site to look. The garage is only daily parking, and the economy lot is right next to that. So it's not like he parked out in east BumF. The cops should be able to piece together some leads from camera footage and the credit card used to exit the lot, but they won't spend the time. That's why God invented car insurance.

Utah John Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Probably his car had a scratch or two so it was time to move on to a 2021 Bentley.

sullim4 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 It is funny... I don't like to park our 6 year old CR-V at the airport (or at an offsite lot) specifically because airports are in dodgy areas with significantly higher crime. At least Seatac is, anyway. The 45-minute Lyft drive was cheaper than the 10 nights of parking, even at discounted off airport pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Funny, in 2008, our neighbors were ( the husband) stationed at the Italian embassy as he was homeland so they rented their house to Michael Bennett the RB who was at MN, then Tampa, SD, and I think now in jail. The goof bought a rolls as the backup RB, and the wives called him daddy war bucks. For him and so many others living in my neighborhood like M. Clayton, the WR who was an alcoholic, they make such stupid frivolous decisions. In what world would you not just Uber to the airport? As Forrest says, stupid is as stupid does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think celebsagewiki.com can be trusted with that uncited number after he's made over $73m in career earnings, not counting sponsorships and other revenue streams.

Take out taxes and then that's closer to 40. I saw the 1-5 mil thing too, but then saw an article with 100 mil. So either hes invested really well or is piss poor with his money. Considering he leaves a rolls at an economy lot for a month, probably the latter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
