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. 馃檪

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.

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

I know right, and people say Up North and it鈥檚 like Nottingham etc.
that鈥檚 not North 馃槅

@Fairydust Queen of the Midlands duck.
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 馃槺 thought it had been nicked it was a really rough area.
Anyway it turns out there鈥檚 a street identical just behind it lol 馃槀

@Fairydust 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.
haha I did that at work recently 馃檪 what a relief to find the little bugger lol

@metaldog 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.
[b]Who stole my car[/b]? 馃槧
@Gusman 馃槅 yep that's me all the time
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鈥 had no idea where we were either!

@TheSirfurryanimalWales How long did it take to find it?
TheSirfurryanimalWales61-69, M
@Gusman not that long fortunately鈥t 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. 馃お

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

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. ....
