3,000 abandoned cars?

I have lost count the number of times the newspapers here and overseas reported that there are about 3,000 abandoned cars in Dubai.

Yesterday Daisy was delayed, so I got out of the car and snap the above photos of the cars parked downstairs of the office tower. All the five cars were very dusty and obviously not been used for sometime. There are some more cars like these at my housing estate. Perhaps someone could tow one of them to this place to make six and the photo above more complete.

So are there 3,000 abandoned cars around Dubai? You bet there could well be more now.
