BMW racks up 724 miles in airport parking lot
A New York couple said they returned to their car at a long-term parking lot after a vacation to find it had 724 additional miles on the odometer.
Mimi and Ulrich Gunthart said they parked their BMW at an Avistar lot near John F. Kennedy International Airport, returned several days later, and discovered the added mileage, reported WNBC-TV, New York.
"Somebody had a nice vacation other than us," Mimi Gunthart said.
The Guntharts said there was also an unexplained ink stain on a seat and the CD player blasted music when they started the engine.
Avistar Regional Manager David Menter said a review of inventory logs "found nothing out of the ordinary."
"We’re definitely going to be examining the procedures to make sure that there’s never any question in a customer’s mind in the future," Menter said.
