Oh dear. Anyone seen a white Seat Ibiza in Stockport?

"Fallon Jerome, 21, can't remember where she parked her new white Seat following an interview for carer job in the town centre"

I'm glad she found her car OK.

It is a surprisingly easy thing to do. I have forgotten where I parked my car twice - once with my brother (who also couldn't remember where we'd parked) and once on my own. The first time, I was so completely certain the car had been stolen, I actually called the police over it. The phone call to tell them that actually it was on a completely different car park and was still there was an embarrassing one to say the least. They were nice about it, actually.

Did this Seat replace a BMW 320i by any chance?

I've got to admit to forgetting where I parked once, I was meeting some colleagues for a day on the piss and decided to take the car and leave it until the next day, we got a bit carried away and some memory loss occurred, the next day I had a complete blank as to where I'd parked. We managed to find it easy enough though, without the use of social media tongue out.

You can see how it's happened. She's been full of nerves thinking about the interview and not really paying any attention to where she's parked and suddenly not had a clue where she left the car when the interview has finished and she's left. I've seen people panicking that they couldn't find their cars where two different sections of the car park or different levels have looked the same. I once had a brief moment myself in Chester going onto the wrong level of the car park. It didn't take me over three months to find my car though, so the BMW isn't mine.

I had a hire car from Luxembourg, i went to Bluewater with my girlfriend, the car was a Mitsubishi Charisma and i lost it in one of the many carparks,the only thing i could remember about it was that it was green and had lux reg plates,that took ages to find.
Also lost my car in Frankfurt after the bus driver dropped us off at the wrong carpark, they both looked identical. 3hrs to find the car, nearly called it in as a stolen car.

I once returned to a multistorey car park in Southampton, put my ticket in the machine, paid, and then wandered around confused for a while wondering where my car was and why it didn't all look quite the same as it did before.

Wrong car park.

I'm not proud of having driven to work many years ago very hungover, parked my van, then completely forgotten where it was.

Unfortunately Heathrow is a big place.

Did the same in Legoland Windsor. Went to get a picnic lunch out of the car, but couldn't find it! It was in the next section along, but I only discovered that after hunting for well over an hour.

My wife and kids were starving by the time I got back to them!

When in Corpus Christi Texas, we came out of a different exit to what we entered, in a giant mall, and spent a good 1/2 hr trying to find our car! Was convinced it was stolen after 20 mins .....felt a bit o a twit!

Try forgetting which car park you are in in Disneyworld! Then of course it's a hire car so what car was it?

That's what the big Character signs or for! hehe

My Uncle had a driving licence for a few years before having a car and quite often he would walk to places rather than drive. The problem with this was that on more than one occassion he drove to the supermarket in his Zepher, bought loads of shopping and then either struggled home on the bus or walked it back. It's only when he'd get home he would suddenly remember that he took the car with him.

Had a customer report a car as stolen from outside her house, police & insurers involved etc.

She 'found' it when she went to the corner shop the following weekend - she had dropped in the week before on the way home from somewhere & had walked home from the shop.
