leave your car running unattended in a parking lot for long periods of time

i just got home from lunch. when i first arrived at the eating establishment, there was a car parked next to me with the engine running, keys in the ignition, doors unlocked, nobody in it. i think to myself ok that's kinda weird but whatev.

20 minutes later i come back out, car is still there, engine running, keys in the ignition, doors unlocked, nobody in it.

havent you ever seen gone in 60 seconds

there's drugs in the trunk

7/20/2010 1:01:41 PM

it's your civic duty to steal that automobile.

7/20/2010 1:02:20 PM

here is an artist's sketch of the stolen vehicle

suzuki is azn for ching chong chang chong which roughly translates to "Ready in ten minute."

I never cut my truck off anymore, it runs all day and night. I figure the only way to combat big oil and global warming is to use up all the oil as fast as possible.

It's also nice that my truck is cold/hot as soon as I get in it, depending on the season.

maybe their battery died recently, or their alternator sucks, and they were trying to keep the car from dying again.

just a thought...

witnesses were able to assist police in generating this computer enhanced image of the thief

7/20/2010 1:10:36 PM

maybe they can't afford their car note and want to collect on insurance?

7/20/2010 1:10:48 PM

Dog in the car?

7/20/2010 1:12:07 PM

no dog

IT'S A TRAP!

7/20/2010 1:14:26 PM

Haven't you ever seen Bait Car?

7/20/2010 1:21:11 PM

maybe theyre are waitin on a jacker so they can cap his ass on the spot

7/20/2010 1:25:35 PM

Maybe it's a transformer.

7/20/2010 1:26:40 PM

fuck global warming, i just live

7/20/2010 1:26:58 PM

owners of the car were found!

I once left my car running and unlocked for 4 hours while i was shopping at the mall. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't find my keys and why the engine was still hot.....

7/20/2010 1:40:01 PM

I think you should go back to the eating establishment and see if the car is still there, and if it is wait until the owner comes out so you can see what they look like and judge them.

7/20/2010 1:41:58 PM

actually, what i did do is made this thread on the internet, wrote the url on a napkin, and put the napkin on the driver's seat

[Edited on July 20, 2010 at 1:45 PM. Reason : i'm surprised he hasn't registered and posted in this thread yet]

7/20/2010 1:44:41 PM

^
lol

[Edited on July 20, 2010 at 1:46 PM. Reason : if you really did it....]

7/20/2010 1:46:13 PM

But you said you made the thread after you got home ...

Something's fishy here, folks.

7/20/2010 1:51:03 PM

the truth is out

i live in my car next to the dumpster at taco bell

7/20/2010 1:52:13 PM

are you accusing the new owner of tdub?

7/20/2010 1:52:27 PM

free wifi at taco bell now?

7/20/2010 1:54:27 PM

Of course not. I am just glad he has a nice supply of cocktail napkins and the internets.

7/20/2010 1:54:35 PM

i like finding free cars like that

7/20/2010 1:55:58 PM

unless you own a chop shop, or know a chop shop you could sell to, and also know how to disable lojack, and also know how to entirely remove the VINNs placed around the car, and have an extra set of license plates handy...




I don't know if it's worth your time to steal cars anymore.

Take the keys and registration.

Go to address on registration.

Rob the house while they're trying to remember what they did with their keys.

7/20/2010 2:31:58 PM

^^
You can use it in a crime, duh.

7/20/2010 2:33:01 PM

people (meant in the racist fashion) leave their car running all the time when they go into the c-store at gas stations

it drives me up the wall (i mad)

7/20/2010 2:40:18 PM

i left my truck running outside of a bojangles one time. I have an electronic keypad so i never carry my keys but always lock the doors. I came out about 20-30 minutes later and got in without thinking twice about it. I then asked myself why it was still so cold inside the truck and realized i'd left it on with the AC blasting

Anyone ever locked their keys in the ignition with the car running?

I have, about 3-4 times

7/20/2010 2:49:04 PM

no

I sometimes let my car run with the keys on while grabbing beer at the gas station, etc.

but only when my dog is in there..because HE BITES PEOPLE.

German Shepherds ftw

7/20/2010 3:01:19 PM

i saw a car parked and running on hillsborough yesterday.....definitely did a double take

7/20/2010 3:32:45 PM

I have a push button ignition and a key fob...I can leave the car running, lock the doors, go inside and handle BI, then come outside, unlock the car, and leave

7/20/2010 3:41:35 PM

^those are actually relatively safe - most can run the engine, but you can't change it into drive without the key in the ignition.


Doors unlocked, however, makes no sense.

7/20/2010 3:43:37 PM

IS THIS YOUR HOMEWORK, LARRY?

7/20/2010 3:43:42 PM

maybe it was a hidden camera show.

7/20/2010 4:08:51 PM

oh gosh. i hope they didn't catch me picking my nose


or butt
