It happened to me. In about 1965 I bought a 61 Chevy Impala convertible. I rented a garage to put it in because I already had a 63 Bonneville convertible that was my daily driver. To this day, I don't remember what ever happened to the Chevy. I didn't sell it, I didn't move it, I must have just moved away and never went back for it.
I've racked my brain, trying to recall why I simply walked away from it, and didn't give it a thought for years and years, but I have no answer. Someone may open up that garage some day and get a real surprise.

If you were renting the garage and you stopped paying then they probably sold off the contents or auctioned off the unit.
The title of this thread isn't quite the whole story. The Frankfurt man couldn't remember where he parked his car in 1997, so he reported it stolen. It was just now found in "a garage in an old industrial building" and it "was discovered because the building was due to be demolished. Apparently neither the owner nor the police had the ability to locate a "stolen" car in a parking garage over a 20 year period.
When I was working I would fly someplace and rent a car. Then I would stop someplace and when I came back out I would ask myself "what am I driving and where did I park it?"
Now rental cars have a key tag that identifys the car.
