    Need a solution for my car at the parking lot!

    Hi everyone, most of us have the habit of forgetting something particular all the time. I always end up forgetting my car at the parking lot. I am somewhat not comfortable in saying this, but yes, there have been many instances like this with me and I can’t help myself out. I do remember to carry my iPhone with me but am helpless on the issue of my car. There might be someone like me who can answer my problems as to what do they do or would hope some good suggestions from you people so that I can be comfortable when finding my car in the lot.

    Thanks in advance!

    put a note on your iphone each time before you get out of the car. Always park in the similar type of location, 2nd floor etc. This could happen when I park in unfamiliar parking structure. But I would like to think we go to the same area daily, like work, shop, eat, and we end up parking in the same area for the most part. Or press the panic button ; >

    Whenever I park in a large lot or an unfamiliar area, I take a picture of the parking space with my cellphone. I can't see how you forget when driving the R8 though.

    You are kidding ????????????????????

    Get yourself a cell phone with built in GPS sat nav feature (HTC, Iphone etc).

    Store "location" in phone when you park. Use phone to navigate back to "location"..........

    Otherwise, as RICHCLIFFE said, you are in need of medical attention. Few (if any) of forum members forget where we temporarily leave GBP £85,000 worth of assets........

    Their use to be an old housewives tail when I was young..... somewhere along the lines of having a ball of string and tying one end at the point where you start and just let it unroll to where you go. To find your way back just roll up the string ball and follow the string back

    Suggest you keep any ideas as simple as possible as we may be dealing with a serious case of selective amnesia!

    The question has to be - has this man got an R8? Methinks not.
