Early Sunday morning I was in the process of returning my car to the FLL airport which was rented MIA the day before. Just as I was leaving the hotel on the 17th street causeway a man stops me, he had a gun and wanted my wallet. He took it and my I phone and kept threatening me. Guy was on a bicycle wearing a Miami Heat Jacket. All my credit cards were in the wallet.
He also took my car keys. Bunch of Police came after I got someone to call them and took all the information.
Problem 1: How was I to get the car back to the airport. Police tried to call Alamo but it was like 4:00AM and could not make contact. Police said they would have to tow the car. My flight was 6:30AM after the reports were finished and car towed the officer was nice enough to give me a ride to the airport. When I got there I went to the Alamo ticker counter and told them what happened and gave the police contact information and case number. Agent told me they could not close out the rental toil they got the car back.
Alamo agent from Miami called me today and wanted to know what was going on with the car if I wanted to extend the rental and I told her I told the FLL people what happened looks like no one followed up. I guess I will see what happens tomorrow.
I reported all my credit cards stolen looks like there was miscommunication with Bank of America and card was used my someone (the robber) yesterday. Charges at Office Depot, McDonalds, Winn Dixie.
I gave the police the times maybe someone had a camera and can see who bought the items evidence for the police to catch this guy.
I guess I am lucky guy could have taken the car and I do not even want think about the liability issue there. Thanks to the people at Southwest Airlines and TSA at FLL for helping me make my flight with no ID.
