Fortunately it was a Mitsubishi with Vermont plates. How many of those could there be in the Avis garage in Atlanta? It’s also conceivable I could get a friend to walk through the garage and find it.
Though, to Horace’s point, they should have a procedure for this. With millions of rentals per year this has to happen now and then.

I usually rent from Alamo. Haven't had many problems but it always seems to be with Avis or Budget when I do.

I remember when we were building the systems for Nation/Alamo, they wanted to have an automated return system with a device in the car that we could detect when the vehicle was returned.
So the car would be checked-in just by driving onto the lot.
When I first heard about it I said the renter could just throw the device over the fence and then keep the car. I forget whether they ever implemented that.

The woman from Bangalore gave me an investigation ID number and said to check back in a week.

The screenshot of the metadata is a good idea.

Did you use google maps or Waze to get to the airport? That data is still somewhere.

I can prove I was at the airport, as I took my flight. But they are the ones who can prove I returned it with video and the presence of the car in the garage.
It's pretty much impossible to get a car out of that garage without showing papers to the attendant. And they did check to see if there was an activity on the vehicle, and there wasn't.

I'm confident that someone bearing your passport, boarded the plane that day. I am confident of nothing else.

I suspect he looked a lot like Jon too. Really a lot.

I wouldn't be surprised if the person who boarded that plane looked almost identical to Jon. There's no telling how deep this goes.

I just don't understand why anybody would go to the trouble of impersonating jon to board a plane in Atlanta, only to leave a rental car in the parking lot somewhere the rental company won't find it. Only one thing is certain, for now. Whatever this is, is huge, and terrifying.

Maybe Jon will consent to being interviewed. Unless he has something to hide.

Was fake-Jon in midtown NYC this morning outside of the Hilton?
Horace, you are right, this is a massive story.
