A British man left his high-value, high-performance Mercedes with a valet parking firm at a UK airport. On his return he was dismayed to discover the car had clocked 1,300km or so in his absence, despite the firm’s facility being just 6.5km from the airport. Police tracked the car having been driven through four English counties. However the firm said it was unable to determine which of 15 employees had taken the car.
Meanwhile another British man managed to forget where he had parked his VW. He had attended a party in Norwich but was afterwards unable to recall where he had left the car. A resident of Newmarket, he faced a round trip of 144km each time he returned to Norwich to search for the vehicle. It was eventually located parked in a shopping centre and the man had to pay heavy parking charges.
