Best comment after the incident: "I was wondering how that baby seat got in the back" (she had apparently put it in the other guy's trunk before I arrived on scene)
I read this thread right after it started and then went out to run some errands. I went through the bank's drive-thru and then pulled into a spot in the shopping center parking lot to look up an address on my iPhone. I pulled into a spot a couple over from somebody that was apparently doing the same thing. Next thing I knew, he was opening my passenger door, about to climb in and then he saw the look on my face and said "I guess you aren't the guy I was supposed to meet here". I nodded and he left. I need to work on keeping the doors locked and on my situational awareness. Synchronicity still surprises me after all these years.
The best part of sitting in the living room reading these is that I get to read some of them to my wife. After reading the last couple of posts to her, she said "well, I guess I'm not so paranoid after all". She said she makes sure that the doors are locked on her car and that it is started before she opens the garage door (with the remote). I suggested that she should also do a little surveillance after opening the door and she agreed. I then asked what would happen if a BG did come in with a gun and she said "I guess my goose would be cooked". I hope I can get her in a class during her summer break.
