By By Marcus Hondro May 24, 2013 in Odd News Maybe to be the kind of guy that can afford a Porsche you have to be the kind of guy with a ho-hum attitude about owning one. That may be the case with a man who left his on a B.C. Ferry Wednesday. Boat trip over, he walked off and got the bus. The abandoned, and pricey vehicle - a Porsche costs from $100,000 to $300,000, or more - delayed the final departure back the other way by 75 minutes as ferry staff made efforts to find the vehicle's owner. They were likely concerned something had happened to the driver and were not able to depart until they got some answers. Owner: I forgot my Porsche The nearby Delta police were contacted and they traced the owner by the vehicle licence plate. They put a call into his cell and found him alive - and on a bus. After reminding him he had a Porsche sitting on a B.C. Ferry, they told “He said he forgot, and got the bus,” Ferries spokesman Darin Guenette told media Wednesday night. Police since reported that the Porsche was found to be uninsured and have impounded it and thereafter the man stopped answering his phone. The car is registered to Vancouver and so now it is the Vancouver police conducting an investigation. So we have the mystery of how you could forget your car, any car, on a ferry and why the man stopped answering his phone. But what arguably makes this such an odd case is this - how can you afford a Porsche and yet not be able to afford car insurance?
