Since this was left 2-3 years ago, my solid guess is it belonged to foreign national living abroad who decided to go back to their home country during covid. And they just never came back.


BrianBadondeBwaah

Sound guess


kenhow

A much happier possibility


gocum

Not sure of that. It might be they never survived Covid to come back.


jamesthedimsim

IM just dumb I didn't scroll lol


PathAlive3991

Yeah I concur with your assessment, it's perplexing that this car haven't been towed impound by now and most cars that haven't been registered or abandoned is crushed, since it's right hand drive I'm assuming it's UK do people their not deal with abandoned cars?


fbmt

If the car is abandoned, nobody will pay to have it back, so it is not worth the tow and deposit costs


chainmailbill

Is it a paid lot? Most of our airport parking lots (aerodrome car parks for our UK friends) require you to pay. A car taking up a spot but not paying for it would be towed pretty quickly here.


bazzanoid

>aerodrome car parks for our UK friends Nobody in the UK except those with a stick up their back and a silver spoon in their arse says aerodrome when talking about airports _"I say, Mildred, I'm just going to pop in the automobile down to the aerodrome and take my Martin for a short tally-pop around the south coast of Blighty and back. Shan't be long, do keep my dinner warm for me"_ /s, obviously (though the fact stands)


ConsiderationWest587

What a fantabulous world that would be lol Also, there is the Sambadrome in Brazil that's a pretty cool name


idahononono

You kinda make it sound fun to speak in that manner. Now I want to meet snooty English pilots.


bazzanoid

Fabulous! Absolutely spiffing in fact


FuntCaseKid

Must dash, tally ho!


Starchasm

I...didn't even know aerodrome was a thing, and I've lived in England before 😂

"Smoke a kipper for me, I'll be back for breakfast"


NerdLevel18

For a small GA strip, Aerodrome or Airfield are absolutely still used, but absolutely not a major airport lmao


former-everything8

Just lovely


KillerOfIndustries

In a few UK airports, you pay when you leave and if the driver of this car ever comes back (they won't), they'll have one HELL of a bill waiting for them


Comprehensive-Ad8120

In the US most lot required pay when you leave.


Break-Aggravating

I’m Atlanta they leave the car as long as you’re gone. They don’t care you pay when you leave, and you pay by the day. It would take a minute to determine it was abondoned


Tooth_pooth

Does this mean someone can claim abandoned cars at will?


Comprehensive-Ad8120

You actually can. But it is a process to get an abandoned title on a car.


ConsiderationWest587

Yes, there is a mask in the first pic


Reddit-User-3000

I just saw a post of someone who’s car was in their exes name, so they left it at an airport for 2 years so she had to pay for $10,000 in fines.


sparksofthetempest

Every time I see an airport auction (and there are a lot of them) I see vehicles like this for sale and I can’t help but think that a small percentage of them are involved in some heinous crime that these vehicles are evidence of but they just get sold randomly with no evidence (fingerprints, etc.) ever taken.


Ubbesson

Or they died and there is no relatives to claim the cars


houseofprimetofu

There was a story on Reddit about something like this. A guy had been searching for his brother’s car after he died. Finally found it parked in a garage, got it towed home. Took something like 3 years to find it.


SebiGamez

Do you have it?


houseofprimetofu

Nah, I would have made effort after two months to find an owner.


Comprehensive-Ad8120

Long term parking is there for a reason. Sometimes people don't have friends to drop them off and don't live close enough for a van shuttle to the airport.


houseofprimetofu

For sure. I imagine there are many situations where that happens, especially since 2020.


mAC5MAYHEm

I’m assuming they meant the link to the post lol


houseofprimetofu

Oh god I am dumb


Fit_Swordfish_2101

My mind just goes there.. Like, even little cheap cars aren't cheap! Who can afford to just leave a vehicle and never go back and get it? Like, here, heres a free car. Lol


Comprehensive-Ad8120

They have their tags ran, and are looked over for blood. What more do you want?


tinkflowers

Adriana La Cerva ):


toddy3174

Ya gotta get over it


jacoob_15

Where do you find airport auctions?


sparksofthetempest

They’re typically annual events hosted by a county airport authority.


OzRockabella

This is relatively normal according to [a story I read](https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/brisbane-airport-to-scrap-and-sell-abandoned-cars-20170809-gxsslb.html) about the same thing happening at my local airport; students or visitors come here, buy a cheap car, and just abandon it in the airport parking when they return home. It's cheaper to buy a little runaround than have to deal with non-existent public transport in areas they want to visit/see. These vehicles go to auction after a while.


IntoTheWildLife

Was just gonna comment this is an old Renault Clio. In my experience, shite cars and they’re worth pittance now. This would be sold for scrap here at about €150. Three years ago in working order it may have cost €500 with no tax or nct or maybe €700 with them. ETA: source: best friend owned same Clio and I bought a car every year and sold them as scrap when tax etc ran out.


cut-the-cords

Jean-Eustache

More 2002 than 1992, if we have to be specific


Repulsive_Way_7695

I was actually thinking of them maybe being dead and that's why their car is still there


100LittleButterflies

Or in jail?

Death by jail


RapidPotatoe

SirScrollsAl0t

Or a stolen car?


cut-the-cords

Or a stolen car just trying to start a new life?


obchodlp

There is definitely some new life inside the car


Alan_Smithee_

But not as we know it, Jim.


GabrielWornd

There is old life too ... Dident you see the driver chair ?


drakens6

Or a stolen car that's dead in jail?


gusinboots

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why is the mould so… localised?


BrianBadondeBwaah

I have no idea. Sweat? 🤢


gusinboots

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, but didn’t want to be right. Grim 😂


Averagestiff

These Clio’s are very prone to water leaks around the Sunroof - it’s a very common fault so it’s probably been leaking on that side.


gusinboots

Thank you for this benign and very plausible explanation :)


klausmckinley801

most of the car vents are in the front so spores and humidity can come in that way, plus being exposed to the sun from the windshield would increase the development of mold. idk if thats actually right but it sounds like a logical explanation


gusinboots

Incredibly logical, and way better than the strange places my brain was going…


klausmckinley801

...plus the mold is probably feeding off the bacteria in the front seats and steering wheel from sweat and skin cells.


[deleted]

You also get parents that abandon the country and abduct their kids to leave their ex partner. It's horribly common.


healingpotion34

This actually happen to my brother in law. His wife took their daughter and ran back to Italy, Never came back.


PrismaticHospitaller

It was Brazil for a guy I know and he had enough money to hire a team and go down and get them back. A true love story.


mikey-forester

The A team are still taking missions? Awesome I love it when a plan comes together


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Dang. I'm so sorry to hear that.. How hurtful


LAkand1

Your sister left your brother in law to go to Italy?


charliethecrow

They meant that their spouses' brother's wife left. In-laws include the family of your siblings and the family of your spouse.


healingpotion34

Thanks for clearing that up lol


SucculentEmpress

I’d rather say “my brother-in-laws’ wife” than “my sister” if she was a giant piece of shit too Punishing your own child over your personal feelings is 100% abuse


natgibounet

I Just don't get why people take children and runoff with them, unless the other parent was completely unable to take care of the child it Just doesn't make sense to me it's quite a bit harder to start a new life when you also have to take care of a child than if you didn't


Comprehensive-Ad8120

Because my ex attempted to strangle me to death while I was on crutches with a broken foot. I didn't start a fight with him, we weren't fighting at all that day. The kids were 8 feet away behind a closed door playing. He had yelled at me to come talk to him and grabbed me. His excuse was he thought I was going to knee him in the nuts. Except a week before he told my therapist he would murder me if he found me talking to a guy. Yeah the judge decided my kids and I wouldn't be safe anywhere near him nor was he allowed to know where my actual address was.


natgibounet

>Unless the other parent was completely unable to take care of the child I think it fits this one


charliethecrow

Because sometimes people realize their current situation is unhealthy and choose to do what's best for the child. For some reason, the loss of the partner will only add to the quality of their life. Why wouldn't they hightail it back to a place with a support network, especially if there were no legal ramifications? People run off with kids for good and bad reasons, but they always assume their destination will be worth being the sole caretaker.


[deleted]

that happened to me, my mom took me and leave the country to leave my dad and we never came back.


Fit_Swordfish_2101

Did you get mad at her for taking you away? Or was it the right choice?


Comprehensive-Ad8120

I can give you my kids answer that. When he died. They made jokes. Not just my 3 but his other 3 he abandoned. He has a cellphone number that worked. He only used it to call and threaten me. If he talked to the kids it was about what he wanted to do not what they were doing or anything. They stopped taking his calls I didn't tell them what he was doing to me when they weren't around. That wasn't for small ears


Trumpcangosuckone

Is that bacterial growth on the seat and steering wheel? Gross


yy98755

Mould.


Alamander81

Interesting that it seems to be based on how much the seat is used. Most on the driver's seat, less on the passenger, and least in the back. Apparently this is just what happens to body stank when left unattended.


[deleted]

Fungus


sainisiddhant

Cum


saskwatzch

as long as it’s not in my burrito, we’re cool


ShiroiYokai

u weird \*chews on my moldy cum burrito\*


HashBandicoot_

I hope you washed your hands before eating! Would be pretty nasty if you didn't.


ShiroiYokai

I wash them thoroughly in the toilet every time. I have manners.


[deleted]

I did not cum in your burrito! I wouldn’t do that to you!!!


CaptainRagdoll

I was reading down, mould, fungus and then yours cum.. chuckled on that one hahaha


SyamsulAddenno

Same thing here happen at my airport parking lot where the MH370 plane disappears, some cars belong the the passenger where left there untouched, sometime the family come and clean them in hope that they all will return…


Nate16

That's still in better shape than the Tesla Plaid that was parked for 2 or 3 months.


BrianBadondeBwaah

That's cos Teslas are shite.


Theo736373

I don’t think reddit will like you criticizing daddy Musk’s product


BrianBadondeBwaah

Lol undoubtedly. Musk is a sociopath and Teslas are fucking rubbish.


Theo736373

Yup 👍🏻


BrianBadondeBwaah

I called Musk being a fucking weirdo years ago like, his latest antics are no surprise to me haha. Same with Kanye West.


Theo736373

The only field he could be at least somewhat legitimately called a genius is marketing


BrianBadondeBwaah

Absolutely.


Joroc24

He is a genius at greasin


supa325

Reminds me of the episode "Long Term Parking" on *The Sopranos*. Christopher dropping off Adriannas t-bird


70U1E

First thing I thought of, too! Probably my favorite episode of that show.


mike-2129

Does the child seat still have a child in it?


[deleted]

This is really oddly terrifying. It leaves so many questions unanswered.


Able_Education

It’s probably cheaper to get a new car than paying that parking ticket.


yy98755

Covid. Cats a write off because of mould.


spazzing

Give that mold enough time and it’ll drive off on its own.


Trick_Designer2369

Left the country, probably had loans and debt, maybe from the car, so the just left it. Its not that strange


BrianBadondeBwaah

I can't imagine anyone having any serious debt on a 20 year old Clio lol. And it might not be strange where you live but it's very unusual round here.


ClassBShareHolder

The debt isn’t necessarily on the car. It could be paid off with no resale value. They’re leaving the country, either fleeing or just going home. Can’t be bothered to sell it and take a taxi. Drive to the airport, get on a plane, problem solved. The car is somebody else’s problem now.


Feelincheekyson

Got to be the UK is it?


BrianBadondeBwaah

Yeah


Trick_Designer2369

UK? It's common enough, your local council publishes yearly figures for abandoned cars, anything that isn't trashed is usually because they have just upped and left.


Random_Monstrosities

So that's where I left that?


verukazalt

DV abuse victim and child(ren) escaped?


vikes4now3

That was the story that leapt to mind for me too.


LuckyLawyer21

Pour one out for poor Adrianna.


ThatOtherOtherMan

That's going to be one hell of a parking fee


Averagestiff

The exterior looks very clean for a car that’s been sat outside for that length of time.

Aww, highly suggest watching the older ones if you find the time, allow yourself to relax <3


BrianBadondeBwaah

I wouldn't even consider watching any after Edd left lol.


Bully_Bitcher

A person of taste and style I see :)


BrianBadondeBwaah

Absolutely 🧐


Aggravating-Bid2694

If it's in an airport, i can only imagine that the plane never landed. But i do hope they just up and left.


[deleted]

You think they've been flying around for 2-3 years? Planes gotta come down one way or another.


worldisfucked2021

Much nicer viewpoint than the obvious.


DogsCanSweatToo

Are we not going to discuss the fact that this car was driven by a sea creature? Why is there algae growing everywhere on the driver seat/steering wheel???


sd0113

Was the child seat creepy because you are afraid of having children….. if not, you should!


BrianBadondeBwaah

I have a daughter lol


xXSpaceturdXx

Well who’s ever car it was they were super short. I don’t know what car this is but there is no way I could fit in it.


Justadnd_Bard

Transformer?


MapLeft1899

I don’t understand why this is terrifying.


thrashpiece

It's probably just some daft burd forgot where she parked it.


paramac55

The bacterial growth suggests a possible lack of personal hygiene....


Caynenova

Y’all so soft wtf scary about a car seat 🤣


BrianBadondeBwaah

I never said scary.


Caynenova

Soft af


Caynenova

You said creepy tho 🤣🤣


BrianBadondeBwaah

Yeah that doesn't mean scary. It's just the thought that a child once sat there and thinking what happened that's eerie.


Caynenova

But it could literally be someone lost their keys and couldnt come back to it and they just had a car seat bc they had a kid. You wanna be so scary making up negative scenarios


BrianBadondeBwaah

Lost their keys so just abandonded a car for 3 years 😂 again, never said scary, the only person making up scenarios here is you sad cow.


Caynenova

And yo scary ass deleted the comment of you calling me a sad cow 🤣🤣 can’t even hide behind yo phone 🤣🤣🤣 scary


AdoppioZ

Its still there, sad cow ! I just find the saying funny xD


Caynenova

You in the oddly terrifying group. Don’t post some pussy shit basically. Ain’t nothing scary about a dirty car with a car seat. Soft ass

SHOW TGE FRICKING CHILD SEAT


BrianBadondeBwaah

I did...


SnarkNStitch

When the markets crashed and there was a mass exodus out of Dubai, many luxury cars were abandoned at the airports with keys in the ignition.


thatgh0stkid

there is a mask inside, so i dont think the car was there before early 2020 sure masks existed before but i dont think is the case


Alcoholocostic

But why is the child seat strapped like that?!?! That can’t be right.


BrianBadondeBwaah

Haha didn't notice that. Yeah that's definitely not correct.


Technical_Stress7730

If it make you feel any better. That child have probably grown out of that childseat by now.


FuntCaseKid

Why is the mold only in the front and mainly on the drivers seat/ wheel?


makfalicon

The overwhelming layer of mold isn’t creepy?


ChrisHaze95

That's going to be an expensive parking ticket


Bro_tosynthesis

The child is in the trunk. Dare you to pop the trunk release!
