After the search when we returned back, to our surprise we saw the trolley, where we kept.
One time I lost my car like this. I thought it had been stolen, but the police kindly told me that no-one would be interested in stealing my car 😂. Eventually I found it after searching every street in the area. I had parked it under a tree and it was covered with fallen blossoms.
Good that you were able to enjoy the mall before lots of other visotors arrived!
Best wishes for 2025!
