I got this story from a Republican Party activist in Los Angeles.

I think this has been posted here before, but I can't remember where. I've definitely read this before though, but the first time it was somebody's mother that caught the sign-stealer. Could be an urban legend...but a good one at that and a great idea!!

Makes me wish I had a dog! That story ranks pretty high on the "priceless" meter. Thanks for sharing.

Good job. Serves that thieving, tax-cheating, Dumbarat right, and gets a drunk with no license off the street (at least for a while). With any luck, maybe he'll still be in jail on November 2, and won't be able to vote.

I rolled up the window and hit the power door lock button. With that, I slammed the door

With most cars, the lock will pop open again if no one is in the drivers seat. Cute story but sounds suspicious.

Most cars? Its the first I've heard of such a thing. But then again 2 of our 4 vehicles have manual locks. This definitely smacks of urban legend but not for that reason.

Maybe it was posted before, but this is the first I have heard of it. This is just an observation, but not all of us spend 24-7 on the Internet. I enjoyed the post even if it is an urban legend.

None of the cars I own or have owned will pop open the locks if no one is in the driver seat. All late model Ford & GM products. Maybe the foreign stuff like Dodge, Toyota, etc. will.

Could've fooled me...I accidentally got locked out of my GMC truck ('99 model) when I got out to clean the ice off of the windshield when I was visiting my mom last year...the truck was running. Had to have mom drive me to the local dealership to get an extra key made to get back into the truck, the truck ran for almost an hour before I was able to get back into it. Oh well...at least it was thawed out real good by then, LOL!

Neither my 1998 nor 2001 Tauruses would let you step out and lock the door behind you. Lock pops right back up. Nice feature actually, but you have to use the key or remote to lock the door when you just want to warm up the car.

I locked myself out of a warm, running 1973 Plymouth Duster on a subzero Detroit night back in the 80's. Luckily someone with a coat hanger drove by and I was back in my car in about 20 seconds.

a few days ago i was cleaning my bicycle on the front porch when this attractive young woman came up to me with a clip board and ACT button and started talking to me about the upcoming election, asking typical referential stuff, for some reason she made a comment about the ugly pickup with the pro-bush and "I love Haliburton" stickers on it across the street. With this i smiled and said its mine and yes i will be voting for bush and she took off in a hurry.
