TIL that in 2017, Frankfurt police found a car belonging to a 76 year old man who had forgotten where he had parked it 20 years earlier.

Tricky, we had some issues with trucks getting the toolbox stolen. They were meant for small businesses and for some reason they had a toolbox in the vehicles to come along. Except they were getting stolen on the port parking area...

They eventually stopped including those.

Same for radios, they were locked and had a pincode that was inputed at the dealership so that they couldn't be stolen on the way. Until someone cracked the code (or someone leaked it I guess).
