Council rediscovers 298 Toyota Prius models lost for six years

Updated


You know when you buy something at the shops, bring it home and then can't remember where you put it? How about doing that with 298 brand new cars - for six years?

In the USA, the county of Miami-Dade bought all those Toyota Prius models in 2006 and 2007, parked them neatly together – and then forgot about them. The story was broken by a local TV channel, and then picked up by local paper El Nuevo Herald (itself a marvellous example of Spanglish – The New Herald). It appears that the cars were parked in a municipal facility upon delivery, and they never moved until the media got interested.
