French driver, 62, left his wife at a Deux-Sèvres motorway gas station, driving 300 km with only his unwittingly snoozing daughter—topping "man forgets wife travel" and "French police missing person calls" queries. Police received a baffled 8:30 a.m. call: “He no longer knew where he had stopped, or when.”

After the surreal call, police scrambled to track the wife’s phone—while their daughter, asleep in the backseat, missed the entire French road trip drama. Trending questions—"Can you track someone left at a gas station?" and "Has anyone actually forgotten a spouse on vacation?"—collide with the image of a family reunion staged by mobile signal triangulation and growing suspicion that dad had orchestrated the world’s most awkward pit stop.

For four hours, the forgotten wife waited motionless at Deux-Sèvres, while her family sped toward Morocco, proving that in France, “Are we there yet?” can be a solo adventure.
