Travellers have been left outraged after their cars were stolen from a car parking business near Melbourne Airport.
Eight cars have allegedly been stolen from First Choice Airport Parking between September 28 and October 7.
The cars are believed to be high-end vehicles – including a $100,000 Mercedes.
Tony Kluytmans said his Subaru Outback 2017 was stolen.
Eight cars have allegedly been stolen from First Choice Airport Parking, near Melbourne Airport, between September 28 and October 7
Mr Kluytmans said he dropped his car off on September 28 and returned on October 8 to pick it up.
‘We got on the shuttle to return to the premises and the car wasn’t there, which is odd as companies like that would usually have it ready,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.
‘A woman asked us to come into the office and with an ashen look on her face told us our car had been stolen.’
He said he thought it would be a secure car park but when he started to ask questions was directed to an email contact.
Mr Kluytmans said he was told on September 29 there was a change in management and so the current business has no responsibility for it.
He said he doesn’t believe there has been a change in management and he thinks cars have been taken after this date.
‘We have all been treated the same way, and we have all been told the same story,’ he said.
‘They’re treating us like we’re stupid.’

He said lodged a claim with Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal on behalf of everyone who had their cars stolen.
He said at least three top of the line Mercedes AMGs were stolen.
A woman named Pauline told Herald Sun her Volvo XC70 was stolen and the business did nothing to help when it went missing.
‘We all paid money to park our cars in a secure location with 24/7 security,’ she said.
‘When we booked it, the company were advertising 24/7 CCTV, security guards and security gates.’
Her car is the only one to have been found.
