Backstory - In Houston - Double Tree hotel near the galleria. Valet parked - 2022 F250, king ranch. Wake up the next morning, go to get truck, it’s gone.

Who is liable for this? Anyone have a similar situation?

It depends. Did you pay for garaging/ parking? Was there a disclaimer of liability?

Property owner is always liable. Get a good attorney.

ETA- But your insurance will end up paying for it

As far as you are concerned it’s your insurance company….if they feel as though the hotel is liable they will subrogate it to them. IE…the hotel will pay your insurance company back if they are found liable.

Make sure you include the value of your truck nuts in the claim.

Just because people say they’re not responsible doesn’t mean anything.

were valet employees involved in the jacking of the truck... that would be a game changer.

They can't disclaim negligence. I'm sure you have insurance but you may need to file suit for other damages (e.g. incidentals, difference in value compared to what insurance pays, etc..). Need an attorney to send a letter once your insurance decides what to do.

Disclaimers of liability are a joke and usually are not enforced

If you have insurance covering the truck, contact your insurance company. They will pay you, and then go after who is responsible.

Same thing happened to this guy back in 2015 (probably same hotel)
