Oops! Neighbor stored ‘stolen’ car for 2 years

Audi finally recovered, long after mechanics left it in the wrong garage

updated 1 hour, 44 minutes ago
BERLIN - An Audi sedan written off by an elderly German woman as stolen two years ago has resurfaced — in her neighbor's garage beneath a thick layer of dust.

Police said Thursday the 82-year-old from the northern city of Hildesheim took the car in for repairs two years ago and had the mechanics drive it back to her house and park it in her garage.

She got the keys and papers from her mailbox, but when she went to get the car it was nowhere to be found. So she reported it stolen

Fast forward to Wednesday when her neighbor went to clean up his unused garage so it could be rented. He found the car under "a centimeter-deep coating of dust."

It didn't take police long to piece together that the mechanics had parked it in the wrong garage.

You'd think the first thing that would happen is you would ask the mechanic where they parked it, and have them show :P

I wonder if its to late to get me a garage and see if anyone wants to park a Monte Carlo in it and then forget about it?

:D:D

hey...

I need a GARAGE! :P

I can't believe someone had not gone into their garahe in TWO years and that it had been unlocked.
Wonder if she has to pay back the insurance - if she had any.

True...

But do they have car insurance in Germany? :confused::confused:

hmm, not sure.

WOW, who does not go in their garage for 2 years...damn! LOL

Hey Space!

Are you reading this? Get yourself a garage. Maybe you'll get that 4th gen you wanted for free.

Come to think of it... I need to get a garage too.

I might build me a 2 car garage. Maybe i can find me a 4th Gen AND a 1st Gen inside.

:D:D
