A HOLIDAYMAKER was fuming after returning from a holiday break to discover her car had an extra 200 miles on the clock.
Lynn Stone, 69, from Linconlshire, paid £108 to a meet and greet valet parking firm at Gatwick Airport to park her car for two weeks.

But Lynn was left in shock when she discovered that her car had been driven 228 miles while she was on holiday in northern Africa.
The 69-year-old woman claims that she booked the parking service through Ezybook, and the service operator was My Parking Limited.
She told the Sun Online: “When I found out that my car was used while I was in Tunisia, I felt violated as if somebody had broken into my house and stolen my things.
“When I returned to Gatwick Airport, the car was absolutely filthy.
“I spoke to the young man who delivered the car back, and all he said to me was, oh, send us an email.”
Lynn thought the Meet and Greet parking firm would reply, but they never did.
She continued: “I realised they used my car because I made a note when I dropped it. It was 39,980 miles. But when I picked it up, it was 40,208.
“I was fuming because I had to drive all the way back from Gatwick airport to Linconlshire knowing that somebody else had been in my car while I had been away.”
“Somebody had been in the passenger side because there were footprints there, I found my car covered in black mud, and the windscreen was filthy.”
“I filled up the tank before I got to Gatwick because I wanted to ensure that if I was travelling on the motorways, I’d have enough petrol to get me home.”
But when she got her car back, only a quarter of the tank was left.
The Sun has approached Ezybook and My Parking Limited for comment.
This comes after a paramedic told how her holiday was ruined when a meet and greet parking assistant took her BMW on a 90mph joyride.
Plus, a holidaymaker claimed a “scam” airport parking firm company took her car on a 200-mile joyride and crashed it while sunning herself in Spain.
