Nearly 100 abandoned vehicles have piled up at Sydney Airport, including a black Porsche, and now the airport is trying to find their owners.
The airport has released a list of 98 dumped vehicles in a bid to return them to their owners before they are sold to an auction house or destroyed.
The vehicles were left in a secure, sheltered car park near the airport. Some have already been abandoned in 2018.
It has caused problems for Sydney Airport, where the list includes the make and model of the vehicle, its colour, license plate and the state the car comes from.
The list includes an abandoned black Porche, three Mercedes, a BMW and two scooters.

There are also more generic Aussie vehicles, with several Holden Commodores and Toyota Camrys in the car park.
Some of these vehicles are owned by people who travel around Australia in them before dumping them at the airport before returning home.
It is the largest number of cars left in the airport car park in some time.
In 2010, only 60 vehicles were dumped.
The vehicles are all unregistered, many are in poor condition and some don’t even have license plates.

Owners who want to get their vehicle back must reimburse Sydney Airport in the form of unpaid parking fees – capped at $500 – as well as the cost of moving and storing the car.
They have fourteen days from the date of the listing to collect their vehicle before it is sold to an auction house or destroyed.
Proceeds from the sale will go to the Commonwealth, minus the costs paid by Sydney Airport to store and move the vehicles.
