PLANES, CARAVANS AND AUTOMOBILES.



Passenger Ginger McGuire, 38, is suing United Airlines for false imprisonment - for not noticing she was asleep. After napping on a United Express from Washington DC to Philadelphia, the plane was locked up with her still on board. Cleaners discovered her hours later.

A thief who stole a caravan in Blair Athol, Adelaide, Australia, didn't notice an elderly couple were still inside. He abandoned the vehicle after crashing it, but made off with the owner's digital camera.

A couple treated the wife's mum to a day trip to France - but forgot they'd left her in the UK port car park. They only realised on the ferry and had to call police to wait with her while they returned.

How can some one forget to take mom along...I wonder. All snippets are hilarious.

I know one of my friend forgot his one year old son in car. He thought his wife took him and his wife thought he. After 5 minute of walk, they figured out and ran back to the car. No harm done but people do make mistakes.

Ha!

One of my mother´s favourite stories is about the time when her two brothers and their wives visited my parents. When it was time to go home, one sister-in-law teased the other one because she almost forgot her knitting.

"What about little Peter who is sleeping upstairs", my mother said to the other one.

I can remember a parent going home from school and leaving her toddler behind! Took her a whole hour to realise.

These are funny. I know the flight attendants always walk back through the plane so I don't see how they could overlook someone sleeping in a seat!

Oh Lordy, all those people probably have abandonment issues, at least now they do!
