Shock moment brazen Manchester Airport worker WEES on driver's Range Rover in long-stay carpark

The Irish Sun2 days ago

A HOLIDAYMAKER was 'disgusted' when his Tesla's security camera caught an airport's 'meet and greet' parking attendant deliberately urinating up against a customer's brand new Range Rover.
The traveller had just landed in Turkey for a week-long break when he received a motion alert.

He was stunned when he logged in to find a male employee at Manchester's Terminal 1 relieving himself up against another vehicle.
The parking attendant unzips his trousers on May 25 at 12.30am before walking up to the £70,000 white Range Rover - taking a leak against the side bodywork.
The 30-second clip even captures him moving in a side-to-side motion for maximum coverage.
The man said: 'Shortly after arriving in Turkey, I received a motion alert from my vehicle's security system.

'Curious, I checked the footage - initially thinking it was just a staff member moving the cars - but as the video continued, I was absolutely stunned by what I saw.
'It appeared that the worker, rather than simply relieving himself discreetly, urinated all over a customer's car.
'I was completely disgusted. It's one thing if nature calls unexpectedly- but to do that on someone's vehicle? It's vile and completely unacceptable.
'What makes it worse is imagining families returning from their holidays, unknowingly touching contaminated door handles and loading their kids into those cars.

'It's revolting to think about.'
The staff member is in uniform, wearing a high-vis jacket with his hood up.
The shocked holidaymaker, who paid £70 for the week-long parking, added: 'Needless to say, my car will be getting a full valet when I return. I chose the meet and greet service for peace of mind, expecting my vehicle to be safe and returned in the same condition I left it.
'Instead, I've lost all trust in this service.
'I genuinely feel awful for the owner of the car targeted. It was a brand-new 25-plate
'That kind of disrespect is beyond comprehension.
'I won't be using this service again.
'Next time, I'll just book a taxi—at least then I'll know my car is safe and clean at home.'
The incident last week was at Terminal 1, with the car park service run by the airport.
An airport spokesman said: 'The behaviour shown in this video is completely unacceptable and does not represent the conduct we expect from any of our colleagues.
'While it is an isolated incident and not reflective of our wider team, we want to apologise to anyone offended by the incident.
'We have a zero tolerance approach to this kind of behaviour and, with that in mind, it will be dealt with in line with our disciplinary procedures."
Complaints included reports of cars being stolen, damaged, dumped in fields, and even driven thousands of miles on joy rides.
One firm had crashed a couple's brand new £157k BMW, and another traveller said they returned from an eight-week trip to find 3,000 miles had been added to their mileage clock.
Some companies were moving vehicles to fields or abandoning them on residential streets while owners were on holiday.

While it lacks the same off-road capability as the Range Rover, it matches it in terms of on-road performance and dynamics - particularly with its sporty handling. Currently in its fourth generation, the X5 is slightly smaller than the Range Rover but just as popular, thanks to its meticulously finished cabin and BMW's highly regarded curved screen, perfect for all of the Liverpudlian's infotainment needs.

Tesla's Chinese made EVs sale slump continues

A decline in Tesla's China-made electric vehicle sales extended to an eighth month in May, as the US automaker's sales woes were compounded by brutal price wars in the world's largest auto market. Deliveries of China-made Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, including both domestic sales and exports to Europe and other markets, fell 15 per cent in May from a year earlier to 61,662 vehicles, after a 6 per cent fall in April, data from the China Passenger Car Association showed on Wednesday. Its China-made EV deliveries were up 5.5 per cent from April. [ Musk committed to Tesla for next five years Opens in new window ] [ New Tesla pay deal for Elon Musk? Opens in new window ] Tesla's EV sales rout also continued across much of Europe last month, as its ageing model line-up and chief executive Elon Musk's political activities deterred buyers. READ MORE To spur sales in China, its largest market in the first quarter, Tesla last week offered smart assisted driving capability transfers to new vehicles in the country through the end of June. Model 3 and Model Y vehicles were also added to a Chinese government-backed campaign to promote EV sales in rural areas for the first time this year. The US EV specialist, which ignited a price war in China in 2023 that has since pulled in more than 40 brands and is showing no signs of abating, is under pressure from new lower-priced but still high-performance models in the market. China has urged a halt to bruising price wars, after BYD offered fresh incentives on more than 20 models in late May, prompting Geely Auto and Chery to follow suit. Global passenger vehicle sales at BYD , Tesla's biggest rival, rose 14.1 per cent year-on-year to 376,930 units in May, slowing from April's 19.4 per cent.
