Found this interesting. Looks like it’s in 🇺🇸. Surprised it has not been towed.

Heard of stories of abandoned vehicles in the Middle East (Dubai?), but with super cars.

This actually sad. If true, it means the owner was the last member of their family.

That’s not even necessarily true; it’s possible their immediate family was simply too poor to insure or tow the vehicle and so left it abandoned.

Their first sentence is still true if that's the case.

To me it seems especially grim because the owner was well enough to drive themselves to the hospital, park and get themselves inside and were never well enough to leave (except in a bodybag or maybe a hospital transport to a hospice).

Or they never knew where it was parked.

Or maybe they just pissed everyone off so bad they went NC and don't know or care that Karen is dead/had a car.
