As annoying as this was, I did get to live out one of my petty fantasies: I had grabbed a coloring sheet for my toddler with some crayons, so I left a nice little note telling this guy that he could now practice staying inside the lines.
Should have just moved the car since it was on
This. I would have re-parked it in a parking lot across the street.
IANAL, but I think this is technically grand theft auto. Yeah, the owner is a jackass, but don’t do this.
It is not. Theft requires intent to permanently deprive. It is, however, joyriding and most states have a statute against that.
Whatever it is, I’m not risking it. I’m going to leave a passive aggressive note instead of possibly committing major crime.
Who’s got time to play video games when there’s a car to move
Just take the keys out and leave them somewhere fun. Like inside the car but out of sight. Or on the base of a parking lot light.
No, you want them to see the keys. Put them on the seat where they are clearly visible then lock and close the door.
I like your idea much more.
Just open the door and put that bad boy in drive. Then it’s in God’s hands or Thor’s. Whichever deity you like can take the wheel. No worries.
Put it in neutral and watch it slowly roll…
Park it in a handicap spot then call the police

That the name of the magazine!
I recently bought a new car for the first time in a lot of years. It has a lot of features that seem a little silly. The one that seemed the silliest is that you can start it and pull it forward or backward from outside with the key fob. I couldn’t figure out why I’d want to do that, until I realized it would be perfect for this situation.
That’s pretty cool. Mind sharing what make/model?
It’s the 2023 Hyundai Sonata hybrid. I’m surprised how much I’m enjoying the car.
I fucking hate when people leave their cars running when they park them, just for the fucking A/C. Whenever I see this, I turn off the engine and leave then a nice note along the lines of, “hey buddy, you accidentally left your car running, so I took care of that for you :)”
Fucking removed; if I can handle two minutes of heat while my car cools down, you can too. Quit wasting gas and money.
And park them in front of the entrance like they are robbing a bank.
What if they are shopping 2-3 stores and have perishable goods in their car? You touch my car once, and you won’t be telling stories anymore.
Ah, so you’re one of those assholes.
Unless you’re shopping for over an hour, your perishables will be fine. You can leave them out for up to two hours before they start to go bad. Just ask your local health department.
Regardless, people like you are why I stay strapped, despite the fact that I support gun control. There are many unhinged psychopaths like you in the world for me to not carry.
Turn off your fucking engine when you park, or I’ll do it for you. End of story.
You are strapped because you are a coward that hides behind a gun. If someone else had a gun, you would shit your pants and run away crying GOP man.
Fuck the GOP. I will never vote for those traitors.
Where I live, it is legal to own a gun without having to vote republican.
On top of the other reply, you could also just take into account what your errands are and not get the perishable goods first?
HEB Mueller?
Yep that HEB and clearly in Texas, recognize the plate style as I live in TX too. We may have a lot of misguided “patriots” but most people here got their drivers licenses out of Cracker Jack boxes
Lmao I just noticed the logos after reading your comment.
Is that Texas and Proud to be an American?
Those are the cars I park really close to or “accidentally” kick the doors of.
Looks like the space in front of it is open, just drive it 10 feet forward and out of your life.
That looks like the H‑E‑B I shop at and a lot of people in big trucks and SUVs park like assholes and leave their vehicles on there. I have to deal with that shit almost every week.
