I want one of those before I forget why I want one of those.

I don't need too know how I got to my destination, nor why I went their - I just want to to know how to go home.
A bit of drift. I parked the car outside the HSBC in a multi storey car park attached to a mall. I had to go up and down escalators/travelators to visit the retail outlets I had been directed to visit. I then went back to my car, outside the HSBC. The car was no-where to be seen. I walked along the row of cars, all white, grey and black - no car. I was becoming a bit frazzled. I went back inside, sure enough there was the HSBC. I retraced my steps - there were 2 HSBC 'outlets' one on top of the other (no idea why) I had parked outside one but returned to the other one. At a distance the two offices were identical with, obviously, all the same livery.
We now have a new car, bright orange, with a find my car alarm in the 'key' fob.

All AWBs in marinas should be provided with 'car alarms on key fobs'....

I did something similar in Titchmarsh Marina, which has two car parks, both with access to the pontoons. Parked in one, went off sailing for a few days and came out into the other. I was two minutes away from reporting the car stolen when I twigged.
Perish the thought - all those people coming back at closing time having forgotten where they parked their boatAll AWBs in marinas should be provided with 'car alarms on key fobs'....

Rented a car in the USA whilst on holiday--parked in a huge Walmart car park to do some shopping, Couldn't locate the vehicle upon my return and was reduced to walking up and down the car park whilst pressing the "boot open" button on the key fob and watching for any car with an open boot. Found it after around five minutes.
