you can't be too safe...
you can't be too stupid...
Fixed that for you!
tt, no offense, just too big a hanging curve and my sarcastic inner Sammy Sosa simply could not resist.
But yeah there is nothing you did that constitutes the use of the word safe. This hobby has enough built-in risks to mitigate, leaving a hooker you do not know and street hooker to boot, alone in your running car while you walk away doesn't need to be one of them. Man, unless my dog is in the car, I wouldn't leave my car running in the best part of town with two coppers parked nearby. If it is too hot, you are coming with...or standing outside...or dealing with it on the inside. (I trust my dog because I know no one is gonna eff with the car with him inside...and he doesn't have opposable thumbs, so he won't take off with it!)
Seriously, I feel for ya. It sucks having your car stolen, BTDT. Cannot imagine how it feels to have it stolen by a SW...while you are standing there helplessly watching...and before you even got your nut! I hope she did you the courtesy of taking off
before you paid for the room or you got extra-screwed.
Live and learn...I hope you get the car back in relatively good condition. Or if you have good insurance and value, hope they never find it and cash in on a new one! Besides, many of the new ones have the keyless fobs that you can leave the car running and walk away and if anyone tries to put it in gear, it shuts off.
In that case, problem solved for next time!
