"As I was walking towards my car, all of a sudden, it seems like someone was hiding in the car and then they just popped up," Solano said. "I was terrified, I was scared."

The stranger then claimed the car was his own, Solano said.

Solano began to record the incident for his own evidence.

In the video, Solano can be heard asking the stranger why he was in his car and that he had alerted the police.

The stranger then proceeded to show what appeared to be a valet ticket and asked to be let out of the car.

Solano did not oblige the request and waited for police to arrive. Rabindranauth was arrested and charged with burglary of an unoccupied conveyance. His bond was set at $2,500.
