Most people misplace small things like their keys, wallet, or phone. Actor Richard Harris, however, once misplaced something far more unusual — a Rolls-Royce Phantom V — and didn’t realize it for 25 years.
Long before he became widely known for playing Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films, Harris had a reputation for living a colorful and carefree lifestyle. In the 1970s, during a visit to New York, he parked his Rolls-Royce Phantom V in a garage and simply forgot about it. Life moved on, and the car completely slipped from his memory.
Decades later, in the late 1990s, Harris came across an old photograph of himself standing next to a Rolls-Royce. The strange part was that he had no recollection of ever owning such a car. Curious, he asked family members and eventually checked with his accountant.
That’s when the mystery was solved — the Rolls-Royce was still sitting in the same garage, with decades of storage fees quietly piling up.
