Ever forgotten where you parked your car? It has happened to the best of us. For one man in Germany, however, it was a reunion two decades in the making with a car he 'lost' back in 1997. According to the Metro, authorities in Frankfurt found the car in a garage in a building which is set for demolition. The owner of the car had parked it there in 1997 and forgotten all about it. It was reported stolen and never recovered, until recently, when authorities found it rotting in the garage.
The unnamed 76-year-old man was driven to his Volkswagen Passat by the police after the car was found, according to local reports.
After rotting in the parking for 20 years, it was deemed unfit for driving.
Frankfurt authorities said: 'The car can no longer be driven and will be sent to the scrap heap.'
