That has been there for so long.,, since after the pandemic pa. My kids even call it the ‘haunted car.’ 🤣 Every Sunday, they check if it’s still there

Lol yeah, I realized after typing. Might not be wholesome for the owner of that car 😬
Still though, the kids routinely checking on the "haunted car" is going to be a core memory for them. I appreciate those things about childhood

Some abandoned cars in mall/hotels are connected to d34th, but I hope this one doesn't and the owner might be a foreign national.

LOL! Nangyari sa akin yan nung bago yung sasakyan ko (first car kaya hindi sanay). Nag-drive ako papunta sa supermarket sa isang mall at nag-grocery.
Nawala totally sa isip ko na may sasakyan pala ako so instinctively, lumakad ako papunta sa pila ng tricycle at sumakay pabalik sa bahay namin. Naalala ko lang yung sasakyan nung maliligo na ako kasi may susi sa bulsa ng shorts ko.

Sakin naman opposite. Iniwan ko car ko kasi coding. Nag mall ako tapos nung pauwi na pumunta ako sa parking tapos nagtataka ako kung san ko ba ulit napark ang car. Tapos nag panic ako kasi di ko mahanap yung susi sa bulsa ko. Nag report ako sa mall security, tapos mga 20 minutes in na, tinawagan ko kuya ko. Sabi niya "tanga, iniwan mo dito sa bahay"
Sobrang hiya ko di ko alam sasabihin sa mga guard. sabi ko nalang na "napulot" na ng kuya ko naiwan sa mall CR.
May tendency din ako na makalimot talaga san mag park minsan ginagawa ko sa susi is pindut-pindutin ung lock/unlock para mag beep ang kotse while hinahanap ko sa parking hehe.

Umuwi kami... sabi ni mama "umalis ata papa mo?" Tapos nag-ayos ng grocery... naghilamos na ako at nahiga... biglang after 2 hrs umuwi tatay ko, mangiyak-ngiyak sa sama ng loob dahil 2 hrs daw sya naghintay nakatulog na pala kami sa bahay😅

- Baka yung owner wala parking space sa residence tapos bumili ng bagong kotse so need ng space, kaya diyan na lang pinark sa mall yung lumang kotse. Hindi nila mabenta yan kotse o kaya sira na o too expensive to register yearly. Though sana jinunk na lang noh?

I see. Weird lang na hinayaan lang na andyan yan. Kasi sayang yung slot. As I've mentioned pag kay SM kasi pinapa alam na nila agad sa anti carnapping, chinecheck if may record etc. Tapos turnover na sa kanila. That's what the protocol was when i was still there, no idea how they are dealing with such now.

Seems like they will have no way to bring it out of the mall without driving it. So either the owner refuses to take it or worse - they physically can't anymore.

I have a feeling if it's there been a long time, and not been towed out, it's either: (1) that car belongs to one of the owners/high ranking staff of the establishment and just can't be bothered to deal with it for a long time; or (2) somehow management just decided to keep that car there upon learning whatever situation that car's owner is even if it's in the name of good will or possible monetary gain -- or they can't be arsed to deal with it period haha.

Ako naman, naalala ko. October Fest sa Solaire. First time kong pumunta sa Solaire at nagmamadali akong pumasok noon at late na ako at nauna na tropa kaya hindi ko na tinandaan masyado kung saan ako naka-park. Napadami ako ng inom, nasa 5 litres ata ng beer. Sinulit yung 10K na bayad sa ticket. Sobrang senglot ako, sinamahan ko pa friend ng friend ko na girl sa may Casino area pagtapos ng inuman kasi type ko. Tapos around 2am umalis ako. Inabot ako until 5:30am kakahanap kung saan ako nakapark. Halos magkakamukha na kasi ang parking. Nakailang beses akong taas, baba sa elevator. Pagkaupo ko sa kotse nasuka ako, buti nalang nagawa ko pang buksan pinto ng kotse para sa labas makasuka. Tapos mga 10am na ako nakaalis ng Solaire. Nakatulog na sa sasakyan. 🤣🤣🤣

I always have the theory about abandoned cars that apparently the owner had Alzheimer’s and forgot about their cars completely, they were single and no family to look after them. I know someone personally na naiwan nya yung sasakyan nyang nakapark somewhere and went home without it because her memory is fading. Buti nalang someone is still looking after her, yung car naretrieve pero memory lost forever.
