MANHATTAN — It’s like a jungle sometimes.
Hip-hop legend Grandmaster Flash had his sports car stolen earlier this month when the parking attendant at a Chelsea garage mistakenly gave his keys to another man, according to Flash and an NYPD spokesman.
“Went to Tekserve on 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue, parked my car right next door,” Flash, whose real name is Joseph Saddler, said in an Instagram video. “Came back two hours later. Homeboy told me he gave my car to somebody with no ID that looked like me. What?”
The rapper and DJ known for the influential 1982 song “The Message” left his white Dodge Charger at 101 Car Park at 101 West 23rd Street on July 16 with three boxes of vinyl records in the trunk, according to report by ABC News.
"I hand homeboy my ticket he looks at me in FEAR," Flash wrote in another Instagram message, "he tells me somebody that Looked like me has retrieved the car I'm totally crazy right now."
A supervisor at the garage referred all questions to their lawyer.
Police have still not located the vehicle or identified who may have taken it, the spokesman added.
The investigation is ongoing.
