Valet Villain

Next time your wife is about to give birth and you think to yourself, "ah, she can drive herself to the hospital, I'm sure they've got valet parking," think again.

A pregnant woman rushing into Lowell General Hospital’s emergency room handed her keys to a seemingly helpful man who said he was the valet and offered to park her car.

Only one problem, cops said. Lowell General doesn’t have valet service.

[...]

A man clad in what appeared to be a uniform shirt walked out of the ER as the woman arrived, claiming to be the hospital’s valet. He told her she could not park in that spot, but that he would gladly take her keys and move the car for her. Then came the bad news.

“During the admission process, she was told they don’t have a valet there,” [Lowell police Capt. Kelly] Richardson said.

[...]

The hospital is cooperating with police to try to track down the heartless con man, described only as a heavy-set white man with dark hair.
