I don’t live anywhere near a big crime-ridden city, and I’ve never left my car door open or unlocked while pumping gas. I’ve always taken precautions when it comes to being secure in and out of my car. I had a 25 year career in uniform with NY State’s prison system where safety, security, and key control was a part of life every day. And it carried over into the 22 years I’ve been retired.
I too never leave the key in when gassing up. Just seemsright, though jackings are mostly unheard of on this island.
