A firend of mine works with the security consultants at Canary Wharf who told him this tale....
Suspicous of a Boxster parked in an underground car park at Canary Wharf for several months without being moved, the security guys eventually traced it via DVLA to an owner. The owner could not be contacted so they managed to find his employer - a US investment bank. It eventually transpired that the owner had moved back to New York and forgotten he had left his Boxster behind! (and this isn't even the punchline....).
When asked what he ws going to do with the car he replied "er...just sell it for me and send me the money". Eventually the car was sold at auction (apparently it was a couple of years old and one would suspect with only a handful of miles) and he was eventually sent a cheque for....wait for it.... £8,000!

Someone has either got a bargain, or there is someone out there with a tidy little margin!
