Unreal estate. A Hong Kong businessma­n took space-crunched city living to absurd new heights — selling a single parking spot for nearly $1 million .

Johnny Cheung Shun-yee charged $970,000 for what’s believed to be the world’s most expensive car space, located inside a gleaming skyscraper. At 134.5 square feet, it’s roughly one-fourth the size of an average Manhattan studio apartment.

A British man got a postcard in the mail more than 28 years after he sent it to his now-deceased parents.

Jim Green, 66, of Essex, penned the note to his mom and dad to let them know he had arrived safely in Benidorm, Spain, in 1991.

Green, who moved into his parents’ home after they died, found the card in his mailbox last week, probably because it had been tossed back in the system after turning up, postal officials said.

A poacher in India was busted for slaughteri­ng sloth bears and eating their penises to boost his sex drive, authoritie­s said.

The hunter, identified only as Yarlen, allegedly chopped off the animal’s genitals and left their carcasses in the remote Madhya Pradesh Forest because his tribe, the PardhiBehe­lia, believes the organs are an aphrodisia­c, officials said.

The world’s most expensive chocolate hit the shelves in India for a hard-to-stomach $3,100 a pound.

The Trinity truffles from Mumbai’s Fabelle Exquisite Chocolates include such ingredient­s as coffee from Jamaica’s Blue Mountains and vanilla beans from Tahiti.

An Indiana thrift-store worker with a heart of gold found $7,000 inside a coat, and returned it to the lucky owner.

When Jennifer Kimes found the cash while folding clothes at Plato’s Closet in Valparaiso, she called the store’s owner — and together, they tracked down the man who had dropped off the coat. “Doing the right thing is rewarding,” she said.
