In the town of Conegliano Italy, Angelo Fregolent parked his car outside his newsstand in 1974 and never came back. The vehicle left behind: a gray Lancia Fulvia 1962, a compact four-door. It has since become a tourist attraction, with a marker on Google Maps and many people snapping selfies with it on social media.
The town of Conegliano moved the car at one point (because it blocked flow of traffic and pedestrians) and displayed at tAuto e Moto d'Epoca motor show in Padua. It has since been returned to the garden of the Cerletti Enological School, which is across from the newsstand, where is now safely operating as an official local landmark.

A woman has left a note to her neighbors threatening to ruin Christmas for the entire block of flats after her TV was stolen.
The woman named Liz, left Twitter users in stitches after she posted the message she left to her neighbors with the caption "So it begins."
The note reads: "To the person who stole my TV.
"Bring it back and all will be forgiven. Otherwise, there will be no Christmas in this building.
I will steal every single package. I will steal every mat and every trash can. I will engage in warfare until the day I move out. It's up to you, you broke bitch. you have 24 HOURS."
Her post quickly went viral with Twitter users finding her reaction hilarious.
One commented: "The way I would be writing her a little sticky note to tell her it wasn’t us please leave my apartment alone."
Another one said: "I’m stealing your tactic, someone stole my phone out of my pocket recently and has been going from destination to destination it makes no sense, all around my area too."
The following day she was happy to announce that her TV had been returned by posting a photo of it writing: "Good morning. As you begin your day, remember that violence is always an option and often the answer."
