Dozens of cars have been left abandoned in a Boston airport parking lot, including a 2000 Buick LeSabre with a strange note inside.
Rather than sell on or scrap their old vehicles, it seems several motorists in Boston have decided to abandon their cars in an airport parking lot.
More than 70 cars were recently removed from the lot, ranging from a 1993 Jaguar to a 2020 Kia Telluride.
The airport then has a pretty creative solution for getting rid of the vehicles.

One of the cars abandoned at the Boston airport had a strange note inside
The packed parking lot at Boston Logan International Airport has become an unlikely car graveyard, with dozens of abandoned vehicles piling up.
In Massachusetts, abandoning a car can land you with a $250 fine for a first offense, rising to $500 for subsequent incidents.
Nonetheless, people have been leaving their cars at the airport for years, with a whopping 92 being removed back in 2020.
“We do not know why people are leaving vehicles behind,” a spokesperson for the Massachusetts Port Authority told WBZ.
All kinds of vehicles have been left at the airport, with brands including Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Cadillac, Honda, Ford, and Volkswagen.
Many of the cars have been left empty by their owners, but one 2020 Buick LeSabre contained a bizarre note claiming that it had been ‘stolen from the parking lot of the Bangor Area Homeless Shelter in Bangor, Maine, in March 2023’.
Airport staff came up with a smart way to get rid of the vehicles
With the cars piling up in the parking lot, airport staff had to come up with a solution and decided to auction off the vehicles.
Auctioneers JJ Kane have been tasked with selling the dozens of cars.
On its website, the company explains that the cars are ‘typically sold to clear out parking space’ at the airport.
The cars are sold as-is with no guarantees about their condition.
“Abandoned vehicles have been sitting for extended periods of time and must be towed from the auction yard,” JJ Kane explained.
They are also sold without titles, but do come with a bill of sale, meaning owners can get a new title issued.
