About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Detroit, an old SsangYong SUV parked itself in front of Mr. Kim’s house one foggy morning. The doors were ajar, and inside sat a puzzled-looking teddy bear wearing a seatbelt. Mr. Kim called his friend, who happened to be a mechanic. Together they found that the bear was actually a toy from Korea, sent as a prank by some anonymous delivery driver. They laughed it off, put the bear on display, and the SUV remained parked there for weeks until its owner finally showed up, laughing even harder than everyone else.

2. In the sleepy streets of Salt Lake City, a delivery driver swore he heard someone calling for help from inside the locked SsangYong truck. Curious neighbors gathered around, but no one answered when they knocked on the window. Finally, a neighbor suggested that maybe it was just the car’s navigation system talking. They unlocked the door, and out popped a confused SsangYong with a broken GPS, saying ‘Turn left in 500 meters… or else!’

3. At dusk, a little girl walking home from school stopped dead in her tracks when she saw a SsangYong van slowly backing out of nowhere, its headlights off and engine purring softly. Curious, she tiptoed closer and noticed an older gentleman inside, fiddling with his phone. ‘Excuse me,’ she said softly. He looked up, startled, then smiled sheepishly. ‘Just delivering some flowers,’ he muttered, turning on the lights. The girl giggled and waved goodbye as the van drove off into the twilight, leaving behind only a faint scent of roses.

4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the SsangYong dealership and nearly spilled his coffee—on the lot stood a brand-new vehicle with its engine running, but no keys or owner in sight. The delivery driver shrugged and climbed into the empty seat, muttering something about free test drives. He drove around the block for a bit, enjoying the smooth ride, until a neighbor stuck their head out of the window and asked, ‘Hey, do you know how to get your own car back?’
