Lovely "morals" they bring along from their shithole countries. Deport these thieves. My friend had her $200 cell phone stolen once by one of these fucks.

Team 4 Reports: To Catch A Thief
LOS ANGELES -- Hold on to your car keys until you read about this undercover investigation. It's about valet parking, something that's everywhere in Southern California, but are some of those parking attendants really thieves? NBC4's Joel Grover investigates.
Only in LA, do you find valet parking at the front door of an airport, Burbank's Bob Hope Airport.
"Somebody had been in my car rummaging through things," says Gary Gross. He tells NBC4, when he valet parked here the cash was cleaned out from a secret compartment on two occasions. So he called NBC4's investigative tipline, and NBC4 wired up a test car with hidden cameras. NBC4 placed nearly $200 in cash and coins throughout the car, hidden out of sight.
When an NBC4 producer hands over the car to the valet at Bob Hope Airport, a valet attendant lifts up the armrest and starts snooping around. First, he pockets a dollar in quarters. Then, he goes for the wallet, stealing $117 in cash, which he slips into his sock.
The head valet tells NBC4, some months they get dozens of complaints about theft. Joel Grover asked the head valet, "Last September you got how many complaints about stealing?" He replied, "Thirty."
NBC4 parked the test car at other spots around town, like the popular restaurant Cobras and Matadors on Beverly Blvd. Seconds after Joel Grover hands over the car, a valet helps himself to three handfuls of quarters. Two hours later, when he's bringing the car back to Grover, The valet tips himself again -- stealing $11.50 in all.
Another day NBC4 makes a second visit, and this time the same valet goes in the ashtray, finds a wad of cash, $10, and steals it all.
Grover asked the owner of the restaurant, "Is there a possibility he was stealing from other customers?"
"Sure," the owner replied.
In fact the next day a customer reported their Ipod was stolen and the owner of the restaurant fired that valet.
The owner tells NBC4, "There's zero tolerance."
NBC4 also caught valets stealing at other hot spots, like Sushi Roku on 3rd St., where a valet nabbed $9 in quarters. At Firefly, in Studio City, NBC4 got ripped off, not just by one or two valets, but three of them.
Of the 18 places NBC4 tested, valets stole money one third of the time. Most people who are ripped off, say they never get their money back.
Gary Gross tells NBC4, "Went to complain to the manager, who seemed not to care very much about it and denied it ever happened."
So what about that valet NBC4 caught at Burbank Airport, would he deny what he did?
At first the valet told NBC4, "I no speak English good."
But NBC4 brought along a translator.
When the NBC4 translator told the valet he was on tape stealing he told NBC4 he doesn't remember if he stole. But the more he saw the undercover tape, the more he remembered. He told NBC4 through the translator if he had stolen money, it was because he needed it.
Minutes later, he pulled out a wad of cash and paid NBC4 back. He spoke enough English to tell NBC4, "Sorry." Then he drove off in his Mercedes.
NBC4 showed the tape of him stealing to airport officials.
"Even one incident like this is totally unacceptable," an airport official tells NBC4.
Friday on the Channel 4 News at 5 p.m., you'll see what Bob hope Airport, and what the city's biggest valet company are doing to catch these thieves.
