The Volkswagen Golf car, left in the short-term parking lot of the Berlin-Brandenburg airport (Germany), unexpectedly became an international sensation after its owner has accumulated a record debt for parking-$ 209,124. About this writes Oddity Central.

As you know, parking at airports is expensive, and the Berlin airport was no exception. The first ten minutes at a short -term parking lot are free, after which 11 dollars are charged in 30 minutes, 23 dollars per hour and impressive $ 552 per day. However, leaving the car in this parking for a whole year, the owner created a truly unique situation.

When exactly the airport administration drew attention to the car left, it is unknown. However, during the year no one took any action to solve this problem. The responsibility for the vehicle was not taken by the Apcoa Deutschland GmbH company, parking, nor local police, nor district administration. This case attracted public attention to disadvantages in the parking area management system.

The car was evacuated only on January 28, but by this moment the amount of debt has already reached a six -digit value. However, it will not be easy to recover these funds - the identity of the owner has not yet been established. Moreover, there were assumptions that the car could be stolen and subsequently left at the airport. Hanover numbers do not correspond to a registered car, which complicates the investigation.

APCOA representative noted that the possibility of recovery of debt depends on whether it will be possible to establish the owner and whether he has financial capabilities to pay a huge debt.

The publication notes that the abandoned cars on the territory of the airports are not uncommon, but they are more often found in long -term parking lots, where tariffs are much lower. In this case, Volkswagen Golf attracted attention due to his stay in short-term parking, where the cost of parking reaches astronomical amounts, and no one noticed its presence for a whole year.



Focus previously reported that the tourist discovered a full -fledged aircraft in his hotel room. The man expected to get a standard hotel room. However, instead of the usual situation, he discovered inside a full -fledged layout of the aircraft.

It also became known that the tourist was left without underwear during the trip. Gabby Morgan said that unknown people stole her refrigerator with food and alcoholic beverages, as well as personal items. As a result of this unpleasant incident, a woman incurred losses worth more than $ 400.
