Rogue airport parking firm took my car for 109mph ride – here’s how I found out

A ROGUE driver with an airport parking firm took a Tesla on a 109mph joyride on country roads.

The worker did more than 100 miles listening to Beyonce at full volume when the car’s owners were in Rome.

Jemma Whitfield, 39, and hubby Scott, 41, only realised when the phone app that came with the car revealed it was unlocked.

It also showed the £55,000 car was not parked securely at Bristol Airport, but was stored in a lay-by on the A38 eight miles south.

To cap it all, the couple had to recharge the electric car on their trip home to Truro, Cornwall, as the joyride drained the battery.

Jemma, who was in Rome for her birthday said: “Through the Tesla app that comes with the car we tracked this idiot consistently doing 100mph in a 50mph zone.

“At his most Formula 1 moment he was clocked doing 109mph. He ran it ragged.

“We even know through the app that he was blasting out Beyonce on the radio.

“It’s unbelievable — not only as the car belongs to someone else and should be treated with respect but also because it’s highly dangerous.”

Looking4parking.com’s “meet & greet” provider had been recommended by Ryanair.

Looking4.com, the firm behind it, said the service was suspended pending a probe. It was discussing compensation with the provider, a spokesman added.
