Sounds like someone set sail on the S.S. Minnow

subject: Car parked for at least a year

This car has been parked in the Pickering GO Station lot since at least January and has never moved. If this was a pay lot I wonder what the bill would total? I walk by this car every day and wonder what happen to its owner. At least now I know to tell out-of-towners to leave cars here and get a ride to the airport. Save on the "park n fly" charge.

    Au contraire mon ami, it's still a huge pain in the ass to take GO to the airport but if you live really far, like Brighton, then yeah, this helps somewhat.

    Doug should just report it. It will free up a space for everyone else to use. It should be easily apparent if it's actually been parked for that long.

    The front tire looks flat! I guess GO doesn't enforce their 48 hour parking rule (or any other parking rule based on the photos that are sent in). Hope the owner hasn't died or been kidnapped.

    Watch it show up on blocks the next day with a missing catalytic converter!

    It is probably stolen and abandoned.

    I think there is a body in the trunk. 3rd rate mob hit as the lake and a good cinder block is only a mile away.

    Could be a Bait car used by the police to catch car thieves

    The bait car was smelly and stale. Over 10 months and was still sitting there. BUT WAIT Holy missing car Batman. It is gone..this morning I looked and the car was gone. The anchor to my universe is gone...Where did it go? Did the owner come and get it? Did the owner come back from the Caribbean all tan and just drive his car (after replaceing flat tire) for free laughing all the way to bank. Imagine taking a 10 month vacation, paid cab $70 bucks for ride from airport and nothing nada to park you car under light for 11 months. What a bargain!

    Hey, it's a SAAB 900. You should feel honored to be in the presence of such a rare vehicle.
