Very true. As a South Florida resident I will say from personal experience there's a huge difference between a car stored/parked on oceanfront property as compared to the same vehicle parked even 1/4 mile inland. The oceanfront salt air can be brutal.
OP, find out the address where the car was parked and look it up on Google maps. If that's not an option, I highly suggest inspecting the underside of the car, specifically suspension components, wheel hubs, exhaust, etc. As well as under the hood. Also, if the tire valve stem caps are missing very likely the valves may need to be replaced. I've seen the tire valve issue many times. Sometimes the corrosion gets so bad you can't add air to the tires.
