Problem
You drive around and can't find a space. You find a space and go off. When you come back you can't find your car.

I wish everybody would arrange car parks like the one at Disney which had animals and names and colours. The only trouble is if you remember it was a four-footed animal on blue, then you walk out through the next parking lot which is another animal on green and then past donkey on red by the time you get back you think it was camel on green and your family think it was zebra on turquoise.
In White Flint mall in Rockville, Maryland , USA, my husband was walking through the full car park back to his car when a smartly-dressed woman in an elegant two-seater drew alongside and asked, "Are you going back to your car?'
He replied, "Yes, why?"
"Hop in," she answered. "I'll drive you back - because I want your parking space!"
He got in.

No, he didn't marry her. Why not? She must have decided he was a dolt because he couldn't find his car.
Eventually she tired of driving him around. She saw a space ahead. She suggested that he get out.
Finding A Car With Photos
However, he learned his lesson. The next time he found himself parked in a huge car park, he took photos as he walked away from his car, all along the route, each time he turned. He turned to face backwards, the way he would face when returning. It worked a treat.
