One that is specifically looking for something.

Like a checkbook.

The old trick was to take some from the middle of the checkbook and not disturb anything else in the car.

Not that I know about that sort of stuff or anything.

Kids gotta get with the times... who carries a checkbook anymore?

People who don't like credit cards and still like the float time of normal checks?

She works at home and doesn't leave the house till noon or later. I leave at 6 in the morning. By the time she leaves its warm and the snow has melted off her car, but mine wouldn't.

Didn't they eliminate the float time?

Parents with teenagers and loads of money in their checking account.

They're looking for your car registration - it usually has your SSN on it -> identity theft.
