After being informed that Napleton Infiniti was using FSU parking garages to store their entire inventory, Florida State University issued a tweet last night at 6 p.m. that “they [had] addressed the matter”, and that “the vehicles [had] been removed”.

This morning, though, students discovered that this was not the case. They noticed the vehicles were still in the garages. Students expressed outrage on social media.

When confronted about the alleged car removals via tweet, Florida State responded “The @floridastate Twitter account shared the info avail at the time during deteriorating weather conditions. FSU is aware of the situation.”

It is unclear at this time if that means that Napleton Infiniti misled FSU to believe that the cars were removed.

This tweet did not assuage the concerns of the outraged students, who remained active on social media, accusing Florida State of lying and having an “arrangement” with the car dealership.

Napleton Infiniti is not the only car dealership in hot water after Hurricane Irma. A car dealer in Hollywood, Florida, also is accused of taking advantage of public garages this week after more than forty vehicles from his dealership were found in a single garage.

Hollywood officials denounced the move, asserting that the garages were meant as a “last resort” for residents, and not for a car dealer.

Another car dealership, Napleton Hyundai, parked more than 400 cars in a Palm Beach parking garage. It told the Palm Beach Post it had an agreement with the parking managers.
