A BMW with a striking number plate has set tongues wagging at Adelaide Airport, with one staffer saying the car has been parked there since before Australia's coronavirus lockdowns began.

Mr Spry said as far as colleagues could recall, the car had been there since "February or even earlier", and was definitely there from mid-March when most airport staff went on four weeks of forced leave.

He said the car had a cover over it which was blown off by windy weather in April, creating more intrigue about the car — and particularly its number plate.He said staff had speculated about why such an expensive car would be left at the airport, parked in one of the spaces closest to the terminal. "We seem to think it might be a long-haul pilot who has gone overseas and can't get back," Mr Spry said."It's a high-end vehicle so it's going to have to be someone on a fair dollar to get a vehicle like that, but you'd think a family member would have gone to get it.

Sik Beema...

Wow, that's really catchy.

This model is very popular with Chinese restaurant owners.

Ensuring social distancing between them and other drivers 🤔

Mystery! What mystery? Do you mean to say there isn't a Dept.of Motor Transport employee willing to do a computer search for the owner's details? Give him a few bucks and you'll have the answer.

DLATPsocialjust Bad taste or what?

It’s really an warning to stay away. We all know BMW’s need to be given a wide berth as their drivers are yet to master use of the indicator.

Because this was planned months if not decades ago:

Sounds very odd. Is this the car used to spread the virus even before we knew about it? It may belong to the Illuminati.

Presumably not Photoshopped because of the news source. Unless the source is fake, but hopefully fake fake

If we were to fund the ABC more, would that lead to fewer stories like this?

I’m genuinely surprised it was an allowable plate.

Palmer or Stokes. Twiggy or Gina.

That would be an elite, playing on it. COVID 19 is a code world for something, and we all know it.

So? Who CARES. WOW the amount of indignation is bonkers.

How is a supposedly registered number plate a mystery? It's either real & person is a knob (but doing nothing illegal) or its fake so police can investigate. Hardly requires a story though sheesh...

Super Spreader ? Murdoch?

6 month rego 26th Feb would bring in to 26th sept as per the screenshot. SA rego would have the name of owner ?

It's a ridgy didge plate.

🤣 it’s a conspiracy by the deep state

Is this how the virus spreads? In a luxury car? They are not even trying to disguise it any more.

This isn’t a news story. Maybe you could ask ScottyFromMarketing when David Coleman will be back on deck or stepping down.

coincidence or photoshoped?

100% Smells of a publicity stunt to push the conspiracy nuts out and about.

Just a shrewd investor im guessing...someone will buy it for treble in a year or so...thats human nature 😞😲

Is this a hoax or something? Why haven't the police been called to contact the owner, like if it was left that long anywhere else. Why are cars left unchecked at airports for that long anyway?

What a stupid story, SA rego must know who owns it and the plates !?

Qldaah One for the conspiracy theorists.

FREAKING LEGEND!!! XD XD XD

Poor Corey Vidal. He got a nice car for his 19th birthday, and all you lot can so is bag him. 😁

Irrefutable proof that Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates, something something shocking, Abbot must resign? Ever wonder why Extinction Rebellion and BLM don't march on the same day?

Could be any of these ...

Covidiot is much better .

😂

I'd be surprised if this plate actually exists , if it does it seems in poor taste

Norman Swan's done very well out of this pandemic.

Who cares, just a number plate ,

nEws

psychomode96 yours?

It belongs to a toilet paper salesmen. You made him rich during the first wave of COVID-19.

The car is worth at most $25,000 and at least 10+ years old.

yikes

Can your boss force you to take a COVID-19 test?A South Australian worker has hit out at her employer, claiming she is being “forced” to do something uncomfortable post-lockdown. This suck for those of us in a retail environment where we don’t have an option to work from home, but also don’t feel particularly safe being at work. Especially given that COVID has crossed into NSW now. There is literally no social distancing in our centre & it’s so unsafe. Probably a pointless requirement. All a test says is, at the time of the test you were either infected or not. If negative it will not tell you or anybody else that you became infected five minutes after taking the test. Generation victimhood. Some people search out reasons to feel oppressed.
