"This Flintstone car is in front of 828 Emma Street," the message read. "It is illegally parked in the public right of way. It's been red tagged, but the city would really like to find the owner before we have to take it away. Please help us find the owner of this ride... QUICKLY!"

Within minutes social media was awash with hundreds of tongue-in-cheek comments suggesting that officials try tracking down Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble at Mr Slate's Quarry.

The official Flintstones Facebook page also contributed with "Sorry about that! - Fred Flintstone."

Fortunately though, in the end, the owner of the vehicle eventually did come forward to claim it.
