Um, Wayne, you might want to contact the lost and found department at the Oakland County International Airport in Detroit. They have your sunglasses, keys, AND YOUR FREAKING PLANE. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
Officials say singer Wayne Newton owes a Detroit-area airport more than $60,000 after abandoning his plane more than three years ago and leaving it to gather mold.It must be nice to be so rich that you can just forget about one of your multimillion dollar planes. Of course I can totally relate. Why, just like Wayne, three months ago I dropped a Cheeto in between my couch cushions and didn't even bother to retrieve it. It's still there! I guess when you're big pimping like Wayne and me, you can just afford to let those kind of things slide.
Oakland County International Airport President Joe Borgesen says the plane once worth about $2 million was flown into the airport about 25 miles northwest of Detroit to have interior work done that took about a year to complete. He said Newton, who is known as "Mr. Las Vegas," initially paid storage fees but then stopped.
Borgesen estimates moving the non-working plane would cost about $30,000.
