A driver who lost their BMW in a multi-storey car park SIX MONTHS ago, has finally been reunited with it.

Back in June, a friend of the owner borrowed the car and drove down from Scotland to go to a Stone Roses concert at the Etihad Stadium.

They parked in a city centre car park, but after the gig – perhaps due to all the excitement – forgot which one they had left it in.

They then spent the next few days fruitlessly searching for the vehicle in various car parks, but gave up after day five.

The owner then emailed various companies and the council to see if it had been located or removed, but to no avail.

They then reported the vehicle as lost/stolen in August.

Thankfully, officers stumbled across the apparently abandoned car at around midnight Friday.

They checked the records, found it had been reported as lost/stolen, then contacted the owner with the good news.

At a guess, officers predict the bill may be in the region of a mind-blowing £5,000.

Inspector Phil Spurgeon from GMP City Centre team tweeted about the incident, saying: “11.55pm - Officers have found a car in a multi-storey lost since June, driver visiting city parked it but couldn’t remember where.

“Driver apparently spent five days searching car parks in the city before reporting as lost/stolen.”

Hinting at the mammoth cost of such a long stint in a city centre multi-storey, he added: “We can’t imagine what the ticket machine is going to say when they finally put the ticket in - £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££.”
