Woman finds 'stolen' Audi in neighbor's garage

Thu Jul 30, 9:04 pm ET

BERLIN An Audi sedan written off by an elderly German woman as stolen two

years ago has resurfaced in her neighbor's garage beneath a thick layer of

dust. Police said Thursday the 82-year-old from the northern city of Hildesheim

took the car in for repairs two years ago and had the mechanics drive it back

to her house and park it in her garage.

She got the keys and papers from her mailbox, but when she went to get the car

it was nowhere to be found. So she reported it stolen.

Fast forward to Wednesday when her neighbor went to clean up his unused garage

so it could be rented. He found the car under "a centimeter-deep coating of

dust."

It didn't take police long to piece together that the mechanics had parked it

in the wrong garage.
