Wealthy man 'forgot' boat in Swedish harbour

[BiffSplitkins]

A wealthy man has come forward to claim a luxury boat that has been floating in a Swedish harbour for at least two years, after he apparently forgot all about it.

The boat's Norwegian owner says he intended to sell the vessel in 2012 - and was under the impression that he had, Expressen GT newspaper reports. The boat, said to be worth as much as $108,000 (£65,000), was moored in the Swedish town of Stromstad, close to Norway's southern border. The keys were tied to the railings for all to see.

Eventually, police issued a Facebook appeal for any information about its owner. The appeal was picked up by Norwegian media, including national broadcaster NRK, especially after items such as newspapers and a diary on board the US-made Rinker 342 Fiesta Vee suggested there was a Norwegian link.

He forgot about it for two years? Sheesh, you would think he would have remembered about it 'scooner' than that.

It must be nice to be 'that' rich to just forget about yacht.

It's a wonder no one just grabbed the keys and made off with it after it hadn't moved for 2 years.
