C8 Corvette found mysteriously sitting abandoned in a Miami hotel's parking garage and no one knows why

Somebody on Reddit spotted this gorgeous Chevy Corvette C8 abandoned in Miami.

No one knows why this supercar was left here, but it’s clear that it’s been here for months.

There’s no license plate or VIN in sight, so identifying the owner might be tricky.

Interestingly, Redditors in the comment section immediately identified the three most likely reasons.

Somebody must’ve bought this Corvette and abandoned it the next day

A Redditor just shared two pictures of a seemingly spotless Chevy Corvette C8 abandoned in Miami.

We know it’s in Miami because the Redditor said as much in response to one of the comments.

And we said it’s spotless because, based on these two images, the car looks completely undamaged.

Mind you, spotless might not be the most accurate word to use here, because this supercar is covered in a very thick layer of dust.

And people have written on it.

Obviously.

We’ve reached out to the Redditor for more details, so stay tuned; for now, that’s everything we know.

Although we do have a theory.

The three most common reasons why supercars are abandoned

In general, most cars are abandoned for one of three reasons.

First, probably the least likely, the owner simply died.

It almost automatically implies a sudden death with no will, and a car would generally be retrieved after a few days or weeks anyway – even without a will.

Second, a car was stolen but then the would-be thief got cold feet and abandoned the car.

Third, a vehicle was involved in some kind of fraud, and the owner willingly left it there to avoid prosecution.

That’s why so many of these cars are parked in hotel garages or at airports: that makes the car as close to invisible as possible.

As for the Corvette above, we got in touch with the Redditor who posted this and they gave us a couple of extra juicy details.

“The hotel and parking garage are in Miami World Center. [But] the parking garage isn’t physically attached to the hotel. [It is] just the closest one you can find parking at for the hotel,” the Redditor told Supercar Blondie.

Even though this certainly provided an extra clue, it didn’t solve the mystery.

People in the comments quickly pointed out that the license plate is visible – it was apparently removed from the car and placed on the dashboard – and also the VIN must be visible, because that’s also on the dashboard.

This suggests that the identity of the owner can’t be that hard to deduce.

But the Redditor, understandably, declined to comment.

“I was [just] in town for work. I’m not an auto theft investigator,” they said.

Fair enough.
