Where did I park my car?

Many drivers have probably asked themselves this question before.

But the case of a man from the Grafschaft Bentheim (Lower Saxony) stands out: According to his daughter, the 62-year-old parked his car in a parking garage in Osnabrück at the beginning of February and has not found it since.

"I don't even know how often we've been to Osnabrück looking for it," said the woman.

There is no parking ticket with the name of the garage - the barrier was open and, according to the daughter, the parking ticket machine did not work.

Her father drove to Osnabrück for an appointment on February 3, hurriedly looking for a parking garage in the city center, drove into it - and afterwards couldn't remember where the parking garage was, she said.

He then took the train back to the small town about 60 kilometers away.

First the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" reported on the case.

At least 15 multi-storey car parks and underground car parks are possible

In the past three weeks, father and daughter have rummaged through many parking garages in Osnabrück.

At least 15 multi-storey car parks and underground garages can be considered in the area concerned.

The Osnabrücker Parkstätten Betriebsgesellschaft (OPG), a subsidiary of Stadtwerke, was also contacted by the family.

"Our employees are on the lookout for the car," said Stadtwerke spokesman Marco Hörmeyer - but so far without success.
