Rob, if you're suggesting that the entire thing was staged to meet the Fraulein in the above photo, then I'd say well planned!

I don't think he staged it, but I do think he wasn't searching too hard for the car after he met the lady. And that would make a nice story if they got married. If he wanted to find the car quick, he would of called his bank or credit card issuer to see the location of his first try to get his money and started his search from there.

Re: Where the lost bags go: Scottsboro, Alabama

Travel Rob ·
I happened to stop by the store today. it's really is a tourist attraction now. It's huge and a lot of the merchandise has never been used and their original tags are still on. I didn't think the prices were that cheap ,but I was amazed at the high end merchandise people have lost including lots of electronics.

Lost in Space: Tourists stranded at top of Vienna wheel

Paul Heymont ·
Two tourists from Poland got an extra thrill on the Wiener Riesenrad, the giant Ferris wheel at Vienna's Prater amusement park: an attendant turned off the ride and went home, leaving them in the dark at the top of the 212-foot ride. The couple, last to board the ride near the end of the day, were still circling when the operator handed over controls to a colleague tasked with shutting down for the night. The new operator apparently did not know there were still passengers on board. At...

No, they don't join your socks that disappear in the dryer. They're not stored in Area 47 at Roswell, NM. And they definitely cannot be claimed at the baggage window in the Twilight Zone.
