CAR: Don't turn it on, walk away

It’s really amazing how many people will leave their car unattended while warming it up. There are way too many that will hop in your auto and drive off. Try having two sets of keys and lock your vehicle while not personally attended.

On occasion I, too, have had people move mine for a big joke, so I keep mine locked at all times when it’s parked, even when fueling it at any place, and especially whenever you have kids or anyone else in your vehicle, keep the keys in your personal possession at all times. It’s too late after the fact.

We see by the news how often this happens, and it usually amounts to quite a bit of damage, so beware!
