A man has found his car 20 years after forgetting where he parked it

Ever forgotten where you've parked?

Let’s be honest, we’ve all experienced that moment of forgetting where we’ve parked, assuming our car has been stolen, until of course, we find it minutes later.

However, for a German man, it took 20 years.

That’s right, 20 years, we can’t stop laughing either.

The man, now 76, reported his car missing to Frankfurt police in 1997.

It turns out the car was never stolen just parked in an old garage in an industrial building.

The building was due to be demolished so the police tracked down the man immediately.

Unfortunately, after such a long time, the car was unable to be driven home.

Perhaps take good notice of where you park next time you’re out shopping!
