A man who impersonated a professional basketball player is suspected of stealing a $90,000 BMW SUV from a hotel in Georgia. The alleged theft occurred at the Hyatt Regency Savannah, where the suspect convinced valet workers he was the vehicle’s owner. Surveillance footage shows him walking through the hotel lobby, removing items from a white Audi, and then presenting a valet with a ticket for a gray 2026 BMW X5. According to a police report shared with WSB-TV, the man picked up the BMW around 12:30 a.m. on August 14. He told the valet he was a professional basketball player with multiple cars at the hotel. Once inside the BMW, he drove off. The valet team explained that each ticket they issue is linked to a specific vehicle in the lot. However, the BMW that was stolen had been given out as a loaner vehicle to a guest staying at the hotel. It remains unclear how the suspect obtained the guest’s valet ticket. Authorities have not revealed which basketball player the man was impersonating. The dealership tracked the BMW to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina—about 226 miles from Savannah—and asked local police to flag the vehicle in state and national databases. It is still unknown if the car has been recovered since the August incident. Investigators also discovered that the Audi left behind at the hotel had been reported stolen the day before the BMW heist. The same suspect was linked to another alleged valet theft at a Fairfield Inn in Savannah about two weeks earlier. On August 5, a woman left her black 2019 Toyota C-HR with the valet service around 4 p.m. The next morning, she sent the valets a retrieval code to prepare her car, but it was already gone. The valets told her someone had used the same code just after midnight the previous night to take the vehicle. As with the BMW theft, it remains unclear how the suspect obtained the necessary information to retrieve the vehicles. The suspect was captured on surveillance video and described as a Black man between the ages of 20 and 30. Police in Savannah have released these images in hopes that someone can help identify the individual. The Independent has requested a response from the Savannah Police Department, but no comment has been provided yet.
