A New Zealand man returned from a weekend getaway to find his car ‘thrashed’ by airport staff.
Lance Wallen was flying to visit his son in Brisbane and left his 2009 BMW X5 M with the Park n’ Fly service at Auckland Airport, but upon returning he found it was not in the same condition.
Mr Wallen said his car was dirty when he returned Monday morning and was shocked by what he saw captured on his car’s dash-cam, reported the New Zealand Herald.
New Zealander Lance Wallen returned from Australia to find his BMW X5 had been ‘thrashed’
Footage shows the BMW being driven down the airport roads with speed limits of 50km/h.
The car can be seen being driven through a roundabout before turning left onto another road.
The luxury four-wheel drive appears to be driven fast along the straight road lined with cars and trucks before slowing right down to turn left into the Park n’ Fly car park.
The Auckland man claims the airport staff member was driving at speeds of up to 74km/h.

‘One driver was thrashing it around there,’ he told the publication.
‘What he was doing was thrashing it from basically a standing start to about 70km/h, then slowing down again.
‘I can’t understand how they can do that to a customer … he was driving it roughly, not how you and I would treat our pride and joy.’
Daily Mail Australia contacted Park n’ Fly for comment.
