The rich are different from you and I, they have more-expensive things. And, just like the proles, from time to time, you lose something: car keys, a wedding ring, the cellphone, a watch.
Well, these people seem to have forgotten where they left their planes!

Don't you hate it when you forget where you left your Boeing 747-200F? Someone abandoned not one, not two, but three of the massive cargo jets at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Malaysia. Airport officials, eager to clear the massive clutter, took out ads in Malaysia's The Star and Sin Chew Daily newspapers asking for the owner to please come get their planes.
"If you fail to collect the aircraft within 14 days of the date of this notice, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the aircraft," the ad states. The notice includes photos of the orphaned jets -- two white and one "off-white" 747-200Fs.
It adds that cash raised in the sale of the 747-200Fs would be used to pay off expenses and debts. Malaysia Airports general manager Zainol Mohd Isa told CNN the aircraft have been parked at KLIA for more than a year, having been abandoned at different times. It's not clear who now bears responsibility for the aircraft and any related charges.
"They've yet to pay the parking fee -- where do we send the bill?" Isa said. Several aviation databases list the Boeings -- identified by their call signs TF-ARN, TF-ARH, TF-ARM -- as belonging to leasing firm Air Atlanta Icelandic, but that company says it sold them in 2008. Since then, the aircraft appear to have changed hands several times. Malaysia Airports says it's entitled to sell the Boeings under the country's civil aviation regulations if no owner comes forward.
