Monster Truck Rally in DTD

Ok.. a little bit of backstory…
-For those of you who don’t know where the Simba parking lot is… it’s located right next to the CM parking lot off of Walnut and Katella, behind DCA next to the Disneyland hotel.
-Two nights ago... a cast member managed to run his/her car into one of the large concrete light pole bases, and smushed the front end in nicely. We left the car in the far corner of the Simba guest parking lot, and put cones all around it. (I’m not sure if that was practical or just boredom)
And now on with the story…
Last night in the Downtown Disney parking lot… we were packed. So we opened up Simba to repark all the open spaces left by leaving theme park guests. We got about half way full.. and I see this HUGE truck pulling around to park. (huge as in at least 5-6 feet clearance on the bottom and wheels almost as big as I am [I’m only 5’5”])
The guy asks me where the exit is.. so I tell him he needs to drive all the way down the isle, and then make a left to get back to the light on DL Dr. He takes off.. so I figure the story would end there. I noticed he was sorta driving towards the parked car (which is sitting by itself, not cars near it for 3 or 4 isles) but I didn’t think twice about it.
The guy pulled over to the working lead who was helping park cars.. and apparently started to hit on her.. asking her on a date… telling her they wanted to take her to dinner. She declined, lying that she was married, and the guy asks where the Valet parking is. She sent him to the exit, same as me, and he takes off.
Wait a second.. he’s not heading towards the exit kids. He’s headed for the parked car. :? Oh.. he must be joking around with his buddies.. right? Maybe he's making a really wide turn to get out of the lot?
Wrong. HE RAN OVER THE CAR. :shock: Busted up the back of it, including a window, and then takes off to the main DTD parking lot to valet his car.
So we make a few calls.. security.. APD.. etc.. and meet him in the other lot. After a few statements… the APD officer tells us how the guy told them that we had said it was okay for him to run the parked car over.. and that he didn’t see any problem with the situation.
This is definitely a story I’ll be telling for a while.
