I could not find my car today

Parked in a large car park.
No idea where it was. Looking, looking, looking.
I realised today my car does not go Beep - Beep when the key fob is pressed. Only the small lights flash once.
Finally found it after 16 minutes walking up and down the rows of cars. 🙂

I've done this several times. I walked around the car parks at Newcastle airport for over an hour one night. I was on the way back to the terminal to report it stolen, when I walked past it.

@SW-User In UK anyway. It can get confusing with trips to London. A lot of people say up to London, but it's down South.

@SW-User
I know right, and people say Up North and it’s like Nottingham etc.
that’s not North 😆

Whenever I park in an unfamiliar place, especially larger car parks, I take a picture of where I parked. It makes it so much easier on me when exiting.

I once parked my car in a street.
Came back and it was gone, I panicked 😱 thought it had been nicked it was a really rough area.
Anyway it turns out there’s a street identical just behind it lol 😂

@SW-User We sometimes couldn't find a place to park on our street when we lived in Nottingham. Sometimes had to park three streets away. I sometimes forgot which street I'd parked on.

I do that coming out of Tesco lol
Parking lots are so large. I try to park and then look where it is in relation to the store. If I forget, I have the key fob that beeps. Just a normal part of aging, Gus. Be kind to yourself.

Id consider getting one of those locator tags and sticking it on the car if this becomes a regular problem. I usually try to make a note of where it is on my phone while walking in.
My friend did that when we were at a rugby match…I had no idea where we were either!

@TheSirfurryanimalWales How long did it take to find it?
@Gusman not that long fortunately…it was a large outdoor supermarket car park.
Each time we go there now I make a point of selecting a landmark as a focal point!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this.

@Nitedoc Not a great feeling when we think someone has stolen our car. Happens about 3 - 4 times a year with me. 🤪

@Gusman It happens to me too. Not that often though.

haha I did that at work recently 🙂 what a relief to find the little bugger lol

@SW-User It happens too often. When I had a smaller car I would think that someone had stolen it. Being small, and there being so many large cars, mine was always hidden until I came upon it.
Who stole my car? 😠
SW-User
@Gusman 😆 yep that's me all the time

I can never remember where I parked. Thankfully, my truck beeps..but i have to be close enough! And my vehicle looks like a million others. ....
