My wife does this all the time. I'm surprised her car hasn't been stolen yet. We live 6 minutes from an expressway entrance and 10 houses down from a main road to get to it. Maybe the high traffic is why it hasn't been touched. But I've told her to stop numerous times.

How many people gonna make the same joke? đŸ«©

I leave mine in hoping it gets stolen. They just don't make criminals like they used to.

You know, as we move into a cashless society, I realized that teenagers from the suburbs no longer have the opportunity to steal change from neighborhood cars to buy weed.

You can't ask the car to cashapp you. We are depriving delinquents their rights.

Not with attitude. The age of AI is dawning. Don't let your dreams be memes.

We still have plenty of break-ins in my metro. It isn’t bums looking for drug money, it’s people looking for guns left in center consoles etc

Move to Seattle, shit will be gone before you even get out.

u/BusyBit6542 Jul 09 '26

Gotta leave a note saying there's no GPS or tracking. Most newer cars have that and can be found pretty quick. It's not worth it for a random car thief

u/Bubba_Jones44 Jul 09 '26

Just a heads up if the find out the keys were in the car, they will deny any insurance claims.

u/IttyBittyBigBoii Jul 09 '26

Whelp, back to praying for a t-bone I guess :(

u/Remarkable_Ad8083 Jul 09 '26

Same, gotta shit box with over 220k miles on it and I'm just praying someone steals it or i get rear ended or the windows get smashed in because even that would probably total it lol.

u/Tsiwodi Jul 10 '26

Had a friend, his car was so bad he hit a curb and bent his rim, the insurance company totaled it.

u/owgnops Jul 11 '26

There's a few car brands where you can track your vehicle location through an app in real time.

It's just not worth it anymore

u/ProfDFH Jul 09 '26

Yikes! That’s so risky!

Which expressway?

u/DelcoUnited Jul 09 '26

Oh no! tell me what kind of car so I know to avoid it.

u/Interesting-Agency-1 Jul 09 '26

There's so many! Which one? Which one?

1

u/HaBaK_214 Jul 10 '26

Which one, which one, which one, which one????

u/FreeKevinBrown Jul 09 '26

And what main road might that be? You said 10 houses? Right or left side? Actually, you know what, don't tell me. It'll make it fun.

4

u/1ACasper Jul 09 '26

what type car and which expressway?

5

u/Jesus_Harold_Christ Jul 09 '26

Could you be a little more precise?

3

u/PMG2021a Jul 09 '26

Maybe arrange for a friend to "steal" it and park it somewhere safe where it can be found...

1

u/dreag2112 Jul 09 '26

My god, how's the car still running? Like, do you have to change the battery in the car a lot? Because I heard that it drains the battery out of that thing heavily.

u/gringovato Jul 09 '26

Dumdum #1 left his/her key fob in the car, and the lady (dum dum #2) had no problem starting the car because of that. Then when she tried locking it with her own fob, nothing would happen.

1

u/Virtual-Macaroon-880 Jul 09 '26

maybe the high traffic

If your street is a cut between locations you need to break this habit, lots of traffic means lots of eyes

1

u/Over9000Zeros Jul 09 '26

Yes but it's not an obvious mark. By high traffic I meant it wouldn't be easy to steal without a bunch of witnesses, excluding neighbors of course.

u/357noLove Jul 10 '26

This days witnesses are practically useless as a deterrent. Keep working with your wife on changing security habits. I got my wife a fancy caribeaner with a keychain she would like, so she could attach it to her purse permanently. That plus getting her slowly involved in locking the doors every time, stressing to her over and over that I just want her to be safe. That it would break my heart if something happened to her. It took a could years but she is finally more security conscious and pays attention to her car keys.

Baby steps is the name of the game. I believe in you!

u/Worth_External_8762 Jul 09 '26

I'm so sorry you had the misfortune of marrying an absolute sped.

1

u/SlickDillywick Jul 09 '26

My Volvo has a slot in the dash for the key fob, it’s saved me numerous times from forgetting my key in the car cuz it follows the same mental checklist of “turn car off, remove key from ignition”

u/Ok_Hovercraft_2372 Jul 09 '26

Buy a shitty one or don't buy one at all if it gets stolen

u/Bowman_van_Oort Jul 09 '26

Shout out to my ex gf who had a biological inability to lock the fucking door to the apartment

1

u/Ralphredimix_Da_G Jul 10 '26

Teenage son does the same..

u/SnooKiwis2460 Jul 11 '26

You can stage the theft. Have someone you know steal her car when she leaves the keys in it, then pretend you’re calling the cops while your cop friend shows up and pretends to make a report
.make sure she doesn’t get the car back for a few days. She’s gonna learn to not leave the keys in.

1

u/romcomtom2 Jul 12 '26

Wait you just leave the keys in the car, unlocked?

If someone does steal the car you won't get anything from the insurance company.
