For many years I was at an advertising agency that had the Lexus advertising account. The account executive was taking is Toyota in for service and you can’t park in their lot unless it’s a Toyota product!
The marketing manager told him to use the one we had in parking lot, a Lexus LS 400. Licence plate LEXUS 4. He could park in their lot while his was being fixed. He was Chinese and the nicest person. They actually asked him if he wanted the 4. Lexus knows all of the superstitions known to man.
He told him not a problem with the 4.
They never ate at home so him and his wife went to Bayview Village for dinner. At 10 pm he came out and the Lexus was gone!!!! it was dark and he figured he parked it somewhere farther, no luck.
Called our finest and they went where he parked it and on the ground was the lock cylinder!
Had to call Lexus and tell them a $125,000 car was tone, they never did find it!
The next week they brought us LEXUS 3 and I took it home and kept it looked up!
