Seats · reported Nov 6, 2026

I was on Level 3, going in to have lab work done which I did have done. This incident happened maybe 30 minutes before they did the lab work so there should be a time stamp on when this occurred. Since it was inside the parking garage I feel confident it was recorded on their video surveillance.
