Dude, where’s my car?
It’s a question Gavin Strickland asked himself Sunday night when he came out of Metallica’s sold-out concert in Toronto and could not remember where he parked his car — a blue-green 2015 Nissan Versa Sedan.
The lost vehicle and the search for it have made the American teenager a celebrity of sorts in Toronto and social media.
“My car was found! And the story is so crazy it’s on the news all over Canada. I’ve become famous over a lost car,” he tweeted early Thursday morning, shortly after the car was found, thanks to a stranger who joined in on a downtown scavenger hunt.
