Holy Crap!

I was just looking for my keys a couple minutes ago and couldn't find them. I opened the door to my place and looked outside and saw that I had left my keys in the lock when I came home today...6 HOURS ago!

Damn, this night almost ended in disaster. Someone could have taken my keys, opened the garage, taken my car and I wouldn't have noticed until tomorrow.

:Q

well...at least you would have had a good reason to show up for work 3 hours late

No, I'm completely serious...I honestly could have woken up tomorrow and my car would have been gone.

no chance they could've come in and robbed you (or worse) also ?

I remember another ATOTer a few months back ... someone came in during some party and grabbed his keys from his desk... returned with a friend a few hours later.. just walked in and held the family "hostage".

I did something like that at work once (almost)... I left my jacket at work one night and I was going to be off the next week so I figured I'd go back and get it. I took out my keys, unlocked the door, reached in my back pocket for my wallet to get the card I had the security system code on. I grabbed my jacket, reached in my pocket for my keys and they were gone. Looked outside on the lock and they weren't there. I thought for sure someone stole my keys (theres a car dealership RIGHT next door, like 5-6 feet away). Then I reached in my back pocket and felt my keys, for some reason I stuck them back there when I took out my wallet

True, but I dunno...it'd be pretty easy to just take my car without anyone knowing a thing until the next day.

When I lived in the dorms, the parking lot was a good 2 minute walk from the front doors... can't really see most of the parked cars from the building. I left the rear window completely down accidentally... snowed that night too... I came back and it was untouched. A little buildup of snow on the ledge too... I was completely shocked. I mean, these are the dorms... tons of "kids" pass through... and no one decided to do anything.

What? you live in a bad area?

No, a good area. But cars still get stolen in Ann Arbor, especially when owners leave their keys in plain sight.

Ah, I just couldn't picture it, because it would be very hard for anyone to see that I accidently left my keys in the knob since I have a large front yard.

When I lived in Tahoe, no one locks their door. I could be a good thief in that town.

Between the wife and me, we've probably done that once a year for the past twenty years.

If you wanna wait outside my back door chances are you might get lucky this year.

 

[FoBoT]

my wife has done that at least once
