A big fat silver Toyota 4Runner. Didn't think it was possible and yet...
Anyway the kid and I had the day off (San Antonio has a holiday called the Battle of Flowers, whatever) and she wanted to go to Claire's. OK fine so off we go to the mall. Stupid amounts of people there, mostly teen of course, and I parked where I thought was a good place to get to Claire's. Not so much but that's ok, we need the exercise. So when we go to leave we take another shorter route. Big mistake. Walked around for like 20 minutes trying to at least find the damn thing using the car alarm. No go. Take the kid to the food court and feed her to stop the whining (it's 85 degrees out today and humid, she wilts fast), then we go back the same long way we came in and sure enough we were on the wrong side of Neiman Marcus. Totally found the car right quick. Damnit. I have never ever in my semi ditzi life, lost the car to that extent. I was very disappointed in myself. I'm not as bad the hubby though. I may have temporarily lost the car but he keeps ripping parts of his car off and the molding around the garage too. At least my semi lost car is still intact. As is the garage on the side where I park.

I used to work with a fella in Houston that parked in a parking garage, couldn't find his vehicle after the sporting event because he was on the wrong level and he called the police. I don't think I would have told that story if I was him. Funny though. Don't feel bad, we have all done that at one time or another, some of us (he he, me) more than once.
I agree that we have all been in that situation one way or another. I lose my car more than most people because I travel alot and I am always in a different rental car. I did some research and found a company that is about to release the world's first auto finder in a few months. Their web site is compassautofinder.com if you want to take a look. I cant wait until they release the product so I can go get me one!
