These cars cost a fortune to acquire. Millions of people can only dream of owning them. But for whatever reasons – their owners left them abandoned. These luxury automobiles were abandoned for diverse reasons. For instance, some were abandoned for the crime of default on loans. Some were abandoned for technical faults. Some were found abandoned after their owners committed suicide, etc. For whatever reasons for their abandonment, perhaps, it lends credence to the theory of these luxury automotive toys being objects of vanity.
