First of all, they make you sign a contract saying that they are not liable for any damages and lost of articles in the car even if they did it themselves... so technically, you're signing a paper gives them the right to take whatever they want... you are lucky that they only took two bucks from you. I know people who got thier jewlerly, gameboy, personal valuable items taken away. And the sad thing is you can't do jack shit. But anyway... stay away from maaco and earl schieb... you get what you pay for... and you'll just going to regret it later...
