As I've said many times, we're never more vulnerable than when we are bent over pumping ethyl, loading stuff in the trunk or loading the kids in their seats, etc.jmra wrote:I don't even understand why this is a problem with modern automobiles. When I exit my truck to fuel, the only door that unlocks is the drivers door. I believe most newer vehicles can be user programmed for what doors are locked/unlocked based on certain actions by the driver (gear selector moved from drive to park or how many times the unlock button is hit, etc.).
When I set the pump to start fueling I walk back and forth between the pump handle and the front of the truck observing my surroundings (out of boredom more than anything else). If I have to leave the truck for some reason, I hit the lock button on the remote locking the drivers door which would be the only door unlocked.
In most cases I think people become a target primarily because they made themselves a target by failing to do the most basic things to ensure their safety and security.

If one can not use the Hispanic word "caca" in another thread, how can one use the American word "crap" in this one?
