A video shared by a Florida driver, John Asbury, has gone viral, featuring numerous abandoned vehicles, including some high-end models inexplicably left on the roadside.
John Asbury, known as 'Florida boy' on TikTok, posted a video on his TikTok account showcasing a line-up of empty vehicles parked on a grassy patch alongside the road in Davenport, a city approximately 30 miles from Orlando.
In the footage, Asbury captured a variety of vehicles, ranging from two-door and four-door cars to SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and tractor-trailers. Among them was a BMW
Expressing his bewilderment, Asbury commented, 'What the hell? They are just there always. It doesn't make sense,' he said. 'Semi's parked here. These cars don't move ever. Does someone have an explanation?'
He also drew attention to the accumulating trash at the street corner, remarking, 'Everytime we come there is new trash there. So it's like a big trash dump right on the side of the road,' he added.
According to Asbury, nearly a million dollars worth of vehicles are left parked there, slowly deteriorating.
The video received over 6,900 comments, with some offering explanations for the abandoned vehicles, while others were stumped.
One person said: It was a towing company that got evicted then all the vehicles were placed off the property I've seen this before a few times or a mechanic shop evicted but that's what happens.
A second said: UMMM looks up who the cars are registered to through the license plates and asks why they left their car there!
A third commented: They aren't abandoned. Most likely they don't conform to the HOA rules in the adjacent subdivision, (too many, must be in the garage not allowed overnight in the driveway, no trucks or commercial vehicles, etc.)so the residents park them here.
Someone else said: I was in Memphis some years ago and we came along something like that. Cars pulled over and abandoned. We couldn't figure it out after driving the same area several times back and forth.
A result of building these over-condensed neighborhoods. Developers insist on tapping every square inch of the land they're developing in order to maximize profits, while completely ignoring the needs of the people and families that move there. Someone added.
According to the Daily Mail, Polk County Sheriff's Office PIO Brian Bruchey said: 'Again, I can’t 100% confirm that the video is of Tank Road, but during the month of September, we had no traffic complaints called in about it.'
However, as mentioned in a Facebook post, the vicinity encompasses a school, a housing development, and a mobile home park. So, there is limited parking, which may be the answer to the mystery.
