Hopefully since he works from home, it’s not a pressing issue. If I were him I would be more concerned about finding that wall, and Stan too, for that matter.
Fortunately no (we have several means of public transport nearby including subway, and that station stretches to a supermarket) – but we did have winters here when people freed somebody else’s cars.
Some old tech needed. When vehicles had tall radio antennas, it was routine to have a brightly colored ball, a small flag, or piece of cloth on top. There are some winters it will help you see a car coming from behind a snowbank at intersections.
Flew into an Air Force Base and as we looked out the window toward the parking lot, all you could see was different color pennants. Being Southerners we asked what the pennants were for, they said made it easy to find your car.
I had that happen once. I looked outside and didn’t see my car. I said to myself. “hmm… I don’t remember putting it in the garage last night.” Went to go out the door and snow was halfway up the door. The car was in the driveway buried. I got out, but it took a couple of hours of digging. I would have stayed home but it was Christmas day and I wanted to spend it with family. I made the 20-mile drive, It took hours. But I made it.
My husband was in San Diego on a business trip in 2003 and called home to Maryland without checking the news. “So how’s it going?” he asked brightly. After a long silence, I told him that there was 18" of snow on the ground, 6" more expected, and I was erasing his hard disk and selling his clothes. When one of his co-workers suggested that I’d have a hard time getting to the post office with his clothes, I said that I’d just burn them. Eventually I cut back on those, but I said that no way in hell was I digging out his car, which he allowed was completely reasonable.

Did that ever happen to you?

I think it would have to be a life or death situation to even leave the house. Even then how are you gonna get there?
