Last Sunday while playing the tournament, all the tires and wheels were stolen off my car with the car left on cinder blocks.
Today I spoke with Venetian Risk Management. Venetian claimed no responsibility and confirmed that there are no security cameras in the parking lot. When I asked how poker players should feel safe walking to their cars if they win a lot of cash, she said they should get a security escort.
It's more or less the reaction I expected but would have gone down better with a bit of compassion and empathy rather than a blunt refusal of responsibility or restitution.
In other news,I got the car towed and the tires replaced. Insurance moved pretty quickly. Insurance said they were not planning to go after The Venetian to recover my deductible. I field a police report but since Venetian just confirmed there is no surveillance footage, the best I can hope for is they catch them trying the same stunt on another car.
