In mid-November last year, a citizen parked his white Seat Leon in a parking garage in Munich's train station district.
He's been searching ever since.
Update from January 17, 8:50 p.m .:
Still no sign of the missing Seat Leon – even though numerous Munich clues have already been provided.
Christian Wilken from Hesse had parked his car in Munich in mid-November, somewhere in a multi-storey car park in the station district.
Now he can no longer find this parking garage - and the white car, built in 2015, is still missing.
Various searches on site and online have so far been unsuccessful, and the police were also unable to help the man.
After our article, a number of readers contacted the editorial team - but the appropriate parking garage was not among the clues.
So the scavenger hunt continues: Where could the white Seat Leon be?
Businessman parks in Munich in 2022 - and has been looking for his car ever since - "Was very late"
First report from January 16th:
Munich – He searches and searches and finds nothing.
Where's my car? Christian Wilken asks himself.
He has been missing his white Seat Leon, built in 2015, for two months. It must be somewhere near Munich Central Station – but where exactly?
But one after anonther.
On November 15, Christian Wilken drove to Munich by car.
He actually lives in a small village about 100 kilometers from Frankfurt.
From Munich he wanted to continue his journey by train towards East Germany.
Car hurriedly placed in Munich parking garage - since then it has disappeared
"I was already very late and had to hurry extremely," says Wilken.
He finds a parking garage near the main train station, drives up one floor in search of a free parking space and parks his car there in a hurry.
It must have been there around seven in the morning, says Wilken.
As always, he places the parking ticket behind the windshield.
Then he sprints to the train station, gets there just in time and catches his train.

Munich: "Relatively small and rather older" - parking garage further away from the main station
Wilken still remembers what the garage looked like.
"The parking garage is relatively small and rather an older one," he recalls.
In a parking bay with six parking spaces, he initially wanted to park at number 112, but then realized that it was a women's parking space.
Eventually he parked on the opposite side in one of the central spaces.
The parking garage is on a small side street, opposite the entrance was a passage that leads to a larger street, describes Christian Wilken.
In the meantime he has already gotten a good overview of the area online, but unfortunately without success.
"The area near Hirtenstraße should be eliminated," he says.
The street with the garage must be a little further away from the main station.
Christian Wilken is now hoping for the help of Munich.
Maybe someone will notice the white Seat Leon with the DIL license plate.
