Today, I had my car valeted at my hotel. The manager came out, took my keys, and said the car would be waiting for me in an hour. I was then forced to watch from the lobby as the "manager" sped off downtown. FML

This is why I don't trust valet parking.

I had a friend who would try to get me to valet park, and this is the reason why I wouldn't. If it is the real manager, then he's an idiot and it will make his business look bad, but since you said "manager" FYL especially.

Why would you trust strangers with your car.

1) why did you ask a question as a sentence? 2) why can't you understand what valet is? 3) why am I typing like this?

So did you do anything about it? Or let it sped off just like that?

Well they said they had to watch from the lobby so it doesn't necessairily mean the person didn't really work there. You've never heard of A valet takin a nice car for a joyride? Either way, If they gave them the actual valet key and not the real key you use to drive everyday, the car will turn off after about 5/10 minutes.

why would the manager do the parking anyway? a lot of places (not all) have people hired specifically for that, and the manager should have something more important to do. AND why didn't you call the cops or anything?

You're an idiot. No one is saying the OP should have outrun the car! By saying "forced to watch " it implies they had no other options other than standing there watching someone take their car-- which is NOT true. OP could have shouted, ran outside to get other people's attention, went to the front desk...
