ABANDONED CARS IN QATAR

In recent years, Qatar has been hit hard by a growing trend of abandoned vehicles littering city streets. From your average clunker to ultra-rare Jaguar XJ220s (above), residents of the tiny nation -about half the size of Kaduna - have bore witness to the rapid growth of renounced autos.

According a newspaper in Qatar, The Peninsula, there are a few reasons behind the phenomenon. Many residents attribute the trend to the country’s steady population increase, while others chalk it up to owners facing huge traffic violations, a default on their credit payments, or fees attributed with proper disposal of used cars.

So far, the government has removed more than 10,000 vehicles from the city of Al Khor in northern Qatar, with more than 12,000 vehicles hauled away nationwide.

Perhaps this could give some young entrepreneur an "Aha Moment".
