Not buying that wishful thinking whitewash for even ten seconds.
I own a car.
A semi modern car (its seventeen years old actually).
If a door isn’t latched completely, it dings and a lighted graphic shows me which door it is.
The police spend much more per car than I do.
This is 2014. Maybe the incident happened in 2013 but still, they didn’t drive off with a door unlatched that they were unaware of.
I hope you know I was being sarcastic... : ^ )
