Holiday surprise

A German couple arriving back in the city of Düsseldorf after a vacation had an unwelcome surprise with the car service they had arranged to pick them up from the airport. The vehicle that arrived to ferry them back to the car park where they had left their car was in fact their own, and they were understandably less than pleased. The car owners immediately looked at the odometer, which revealed an unwelcome truth. During their holiday break the car had been used to shuttle numerous passengers between the, supposedly, secure car park and the airport terminal. So often had the car been used on this comparatively short journey, it had clocked up over 400km. It has not been reported how the parking company compensated the couple for the unauthorised (and illegal) use of the car. But it seems likely that the next time the couple fly away on a vacation break they will use other transport means to travel to and from Düsseldorf airport.
