Of course back then quite a few people had a gun in the glove box.

My FIL broke his key off is someone else's car. I know someone who got stopped for car theft because, well, he drove off in someone else's car. There was a time where the key pool was quite small (particularly GMs).

I drive a CRX. It's half as long as a Detroit yacht, and 60% of the height. It's REALLY easy to lose at Home Despot.

A friend had that happen, except the key fit and he drove off in the wrong Ford Granola, with 2 generals he was trying to win over to his contract. Hilarity ensued.

Of course, you can just store the GPS coordinates in your phone....

I make it a point to memorize the license plates of the adjacent cars, in case there's a new dent I have something to go on.

I used to have some pals who home-brewed beers. They took the requisite pilgrimage to beer-Mecca, Deutschland.

Having sampled the Braumeister's many wares at one, they wobbled out into the snow-filled parking lot, blundered their way to their Mercedes, to find the lock had frozen solid.

Uniting their collective genius, they lined up and successively hosed the Mercedes' lock with the warmest liquid they each had the most of handy.

It still didn't work. Then they noticed their car, identical, parked several rows away.

Here's a possible solution to this all :

Here's another idea :

And I can find mine. A rusty 35 year-old Landcruiser tht sticks out (and up) like a sore thumb.

Lots of space arond it too. All the Porsche and Bently drivers keep clear of it. Rust might be contagious.

I don't know about radio, but my van's antenna was stolen twice. Perhaps they need it to unlock another car.

My old Fiesta was fun to drive. It was obvious to everyone that I had nothing to lose.

lose. "

Yeah, I walked inbto an auto parts store and said I want a gas cap for one of those. The guy behind the counter said "Good trade".

I sold it to a couple of Russians for $250. That's a whole nother story.
