Long-time residents like one Mr Sim wondered about the white Mercedes-Benz E200 which was left unlocked at the carpark entrance of Block 710, Yishun Street 71.

"I've been living here for 30 years. We know if the car is not one of ours," said the 57-year-old, adding that nobody had seen its driver.

Yesterday, the police received a call at 12.45pm with a request to check on the nearly 10-year-old car.

They said nothing incriminating was found and no further assistance was needed.

The car's interior appeared empty save for a packet of wet tissue near the gear shift. There were also several brochures scattered on the front passenger seat.

Its rear windows were tinted, though the tint had faded in parts, and a lone parking ticket issued on Wednesday was tucked under its windscreen wipers.

About six policemen were seen around the car, which had several wires sticking out below the car's logo.

The police opened the car's bonnet and boot to have a look and later left a note in the car to say that they had checked it as it was not secured.

The note also said no valuables were found in the car.

Resident Jag Jit Singh, 64, said the police had earlier gone around to peer inside every vehicle at the carpark.
