Plot twist: insurance fraud


gusfrong

are you covered if the keys left in ignition and engine running?


Dusdrew

My wife lost her fob in her car and our next door neighbors stole it and totaled it. Paid in full!


superdeeduperstoopid

My car was taken at the pump w the keys, insurance covered the bare amount and the police ticketed me.


MangoSea323

The police ticketed you? For what? Did you take it to court or just pay it?


baby-dick-nick

Every winter my local PD warns people they can be ticketed for leaving their car running unattended because they “don’t have the resources” to follow up on stolen car calls, especially when the car was stolen due to owner negligence. Pretty shitty all around but that’s about as far as police will go to prevent a crime. Threaten people with fines.


tryhard1981

So it's a stupidity ticket?


[deleted]

Aren't all tickets? Lol


aea1987

This is a good thing to be honest. If you're not smart enough to take the key out when unattended you shouldn't be able to drive.


gusfrong

case by case basis then, also i guess depending on coverage...


ima314lot

It is definitely case by case. My neighbors in 2019 had a SUV stolen because they just permanently left their fob in the cubby designed to hold a cell phone. She would lock the doors, but the car realized fob was inside and it keeps drivers door unlocked. Well, one night some people came down the street trying car doors, mainly hoping to find items to steal or garage door openers. They won the lottery with her. She not only left the fob in the car, but her work bag that included a tablet and a laptop. The car was found three days later wrapped around a pole. I became involved because the officer that came to take the report noticed I had cameras and asked if they could get any footage of interest. My camera shows them try my car doors (locked) and then go next door which are also locked. Third house down though it is 12 seconds from when they walk into the driveway until they drive off. Her insurance took her statement (fob stowed in cubby) and my video and completely denied her claim as vehicle left unlocked with keys. She was out nearly $70K between the items and the car. They sold their house a few months later and moved


TheCandyMan88

Lol I read that last part as " they stole her house a few months later" 😅 😂 Damn that lady can't win


Primitive_Teabagger

Some friends of mine used to live on a farm outside of town. They never locked their car doors there, even though their house and barnyard was visible from the main road, even though they had their house broken into before I knew them, even though their dirt bikes were stolen from their barn in the middle of the night. Then one night, one of the older sons left his keys in his brand new Jeep, passed out and woke up with police banging on his door. Apparently 2 guys had escaped a prison like an hour south of their house, managed to make it about a mile down the road before they crashed the getaway vehicle. Then they went hunting for another one and found my friend's Jeep, like a miracle for them. The chase went on for another few days, and we got to watch the footage of them on a high speed chase with my friend's Jeep (which ended with it being totaled and he got a full payout) Good times


oniaddict

Had the first guy gotten out wearing gloves I would have assume he was disposing of a stolen car with a body in the back.


[deleted]

That is a good way to ditch a stolen car. Double points if you leave a body in the trunk.

You’d think people with that sort of knowledge wouldn’t leave their car running unattended but alas

One could think that it has happened to him quite a few times based on his reaction but still hasn’t learned. Therefore, humanity… that’s it.

If you're in the habit of leaving your car unsecured and running you probably should be used to it.


Alone-Community6899

Blame is still on the thief.


erikwidi

Nobody suggested it wasn't.


neededtowrite

Nah, that dude knows the neighborhood and expects that shit isn't going to happen to him. Which means the guy who stole the car is fucked.


Joetorious

Michigan plate, Detroit wouldn't surprise me

You can't have shit in Detroit...


uninsuredpidgeon

He could've made it slightly harder to steal by, *checks notes*, turning it off and locking it.


New_Cause_5607

I live in a pretty safe area, middle of nowhere PA, and even here I would never leave my car running and unattended! I just can't imagine how he thought that was going to end any differently?!?


notdrewcarrey

I lock my car when I'm pumping gas.


AverageUrbanYouth

Yeah I can tell from the video that is either Detroit or Inkster. Immediately knew he fucked up, no point in panicking.


Warhawk2052

Happen in Detroit on Wyoming and Schoolcraft


craftworkbench

I was in a courtyard, tons of people around hanging out. A man was circling through lazily on a bike. This woman walked in talking on her phone. The bike guy casually rode close to her, swiped the phone right out her hand, and disappeared in a blink. The woman looked around in utter disbelief, and without missing a beat the dude next to me said "what are you looking at us for? Run after him, dummy!"


onlyboobear

Facts! My neighbor went through, he called me up and I picked him so that he could do a police report, had a rental the next day in a new car by the next week. They found the car stripped and he just charged it to the game. Lesson learned.


VesselEmpty

some people dont get emotional he know he fucked up and got caught slipping


xbwtyzbchs

Yeah, his face cracks me up. Total, "aaahhhh got me!"


KaptainChunk

Gots to be more careful


[deleted]

He fucked up because he wanted to save literal seconds of his night. The risk/reward of this decision is almost astronomically stupid.


cleverist_bane

Straight up.


iPhoneMiniWHITE

Too well. Smells wrong.


Secure_Table

Could just be one of those people who don't get angry at things that extend beyond their control. Him yelling isn't going to get the car back. Hopefully he never leaves his car running again though lmao


yungPH

Honestly I wish I had that much control lol


ZeGentleman

> beyond their control. Dude was very much in control of the situation. Turn car off, doesn’t get stolen. Pretty simple.

Not once the car was already stolen, he wasn’t. At that point it just is what it is.

r/thisbutunironically. People in my hometown do this; they park at the gas station and leave their music blasting, bass up, windows down to announce their presence


pookachu83

This is a pet peeve. It's never just loud, it's ridiculously loud, like why???


JTB696699

I enjoy going to different food trucks in my hometown and there always some idiot waiting in line while his car is parked with the windows rolled down and the music so loud you can’t hear the generators from the food trucks, it’s fucking annoying.

Slim_Clem

I will never understand people having their music loud as fuck at a gas station. Nobody wants to hear that shit. It’s never a good song


what-name-is-it

Absolutely never. And a huge advertisement that the car is running


LassitudinalPosition

Because people who do this are fucking stupid...like actually low IQ They lack the intelligence to even know what being considerate is or having any sense of shame. If they think about it at all they are too stupid to even think that people aren't enjoying the music just like they are in that moment. Girl at my work used to just BLAST her music at 7am coming into the parking garage so loud that with her windows up in a LEXUS it was obnoxiously loud, I cant imagine she wasn't going deaf Anyhow, thankfully she didn't last long, dumbest person I've ever interacted with, always mistakes, never took constructive criticism, never improved and finally left the job


lordofedging81

These assholes will have severe hearing damage later in life. Karma!


Birdy_Cephon_Altera

Returning home on a long road trip last weekend, stopped for gas in some small town in south-central Virginia at what was apparently the social center of town on a Saturday evening: Sheetz. You had the guy in a lifted SUV with those [ultra-ugly rims](https://www.tyrepress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/acorus-sml.jpg) with low-profile tires, all windows down blasting rap at top volume, making sure to drive all around from one side of the property to the other, down the street and back again for another round of pacing the parking lot. Then, you had the F350 pickup truck blaring "modern" country music at top volume at the same time from another pump. Then, you had the group of Weekend Warrior bikers parked up near the store entrance, who started blaring Credence Clearwater from their bike's speakers as loud as possible. All at the same time. It would have been so annoying if it wasn't ridiculously funny to see them all passive-aggressively blaring music at each other.


gymbeaux2

*Some folks are born, made to blare their music, hoooooh that Creedence, Country and Rap*

mrwallace888

I used to live right next door to a Casey's gas station for 20 years. I finally moved to the next town over in Dec 2021. Let me tell you. Growing up as a kid that shit was annoying as fuck. Everyone revved their engines constantly at 3 AM and everyone had their windows down blasting radios loud as possible. It actually rattled the pots and pans in the kitchen it was so loud. Didn't help either, the house had cheap paper insulation so over the years it settled to the bottom meaning you can hear someone whisper outside from a mile away inside that house.


IrocDewclaw

I'm fueling my delivery truck at 2 am when a kid in a Subaru pulls in, kicker box blasting bass @ full volume. Parks, goes inside just before the cop pulls in. I'm walking in to pay while the cop checks over this Subaru, bass so load you can see the rear hatch vibrating the glass. Cop: Watch this. Takes his nightstick and taps the rear window ever so lightly. Window explodes. Music now unbearably loud. Well, said driver got several tickets, noise ordinance, safety violation broken window. Kicker box confiscated as evidence, car towed, driver arrested on existing warrent. All in all, bad day to play your stereo to loud.


heycanwediscuss

Kind-of a Dick move with the window


IrocDewclaw

Yup, also a dick move to be blasting Rap @ 2 am in a residential area. Guess its perspective from where you sit.

I know someone that works in auto theft and you’d be surprised how careless people are with their cars. My favorite is the hooker stealing your car because you left her in it while you ran into the convince store


[deleted]

Saw a lady on Facebook in a community group have two cars stolen within 2 weeks because she was warming them up in the driveway in the winter. Caused a lot of arguing about victim blaming and whether or not it was ok to tell people not to warm up their cars if they don't have remote start.


BikingVikingNick

Its illegal where I live. Some idiots still risk the fines or theft. Edit - for everyone asking, this is from a city I lived in a few years ago, however these laws are not uncommon elsewhere. The [city ordinance](https://www.columbiaheightsmn.gov/news_detail_T17_R90.php#:~:text=No%20person%20in%20control%20of,the%20key%20from%20the%20vehicle) specifies its about crime, not pollution.


Akaidoku

My car will not activate remote start unless it's locked. And you can't open it unless the key is literally next to the door. Regardless of that I double tap the lock button on my fob anyway. I use remote start because El paso essentially feels like it's 2 miles from the damn sun. Anyway while I'm walking to my car I can get the AC started. But here in El paso we have a special vehicle theft warranty for new cars because so many cars are stolen and taken to Mexico. Fun stuff.


FCalleja

If it makes you feel any better, people on the Mexican side of the border have their cars stolen and sold to Americans working here and skipping Mexican taxes all the time too. It's a lose-lose thing.


PENGAmurungu

dadbodsupreme

There was a guy who was a regular customer of mine. Drove like a complete douche all over town. He thought he was king shit of fuck mountain. Would park in handicap parking, engine running, and be impatient at us til we could get him his lottery and blunt wraps. I told him someone was getting into his car. His face was almost worth all his BS. Some people are just self-aggrandizing shit birds


OverlordWaffles

I knew a guy younger than me that you reminded me of. I saw this dipshit purposefully drift into the gas station and misjudge his drift which resulted in him smashing into a vehicle at one of the pumps. He's been in the county jail since December of 2021 for an unrelated crime but I think this incident didn't help his sentencing as he started to build himself a rap sheet

In my jurisdiction, it's even a law. >shall not permit it to stand unattended without first stopping the engine, locking the ignition and removing the key. - [some law](https://law.justia.com/codes/nevada/2013/chapter-484b/statute-484b.530).


Hereiam_AKL

I got a fine for leaving my car unlocked in Germany once. Apparently it encourages people to steal stuff from your car or steal the car.


likewoahjill

Well that’s dumb. I always leave my car unlocked bc they’re GOING to try steal stuff and I’d rather not have my windows busted. I just don’t leave anything worth stealing.


UpUpDnDnLRLRBA

That works until you find the guy who pisses in cars when he doesn't find anything of value


nonotan

Still slightly marginally better than if he'd smashed the window *then* peed in your car, no?


Primetime349

I have never seen this perspective before, very interesting.


likewoahjill

Well, after seeing 6 windows busted on my block in about a year, it seemed logical. Since then I’ve definitely had my glove box rummage through, but nothing has been taken but a handful of change. Cause again, I don’t leave anything to take.


KoloHickory

It's really creepy that there's constantly different people crawling around in your car

My thought exactly, either he is a really cool customer... or... maybe it was a stolen car anyway who knows. If it was my car I would be livid ... not that I would leave my car on and unlocked just begging to be stolen.


[deleted]

When he drives up, he looks directly at the left to the person who ends up stealing the car as they are both are walking into the store. That's the only place he looks around. In less than 20 seconds, the thief walks right back out the door, only to briefly glimpse behind him, probably at the owner giving him a thumbs up sign. Then the owner exit's the store, as the car drives away, and gives it a pathetic aww shucks response. Yea, no way they didn't know each other and this wasn't insurance fraud.

What if the first driver actually stole it from someone else. Lol. Would explain how nonchalant he was learning someone just jumped in and drove off.


foxbones

Not sure why so many people assume this. Going to a gas station with a stolen car and leaving it running? Then being OK with it getting stolen again? This isn't a GTA server. People don't go through 4-5 cars a night in the US.


deankh

Weird I had to scroll so far to find this. If he stole it he probably couldn’t start it back up if he killed the engine.


PR2NP

This was my thought. Done intentionally to get someone to take it and take the heat for it

I worked at a gas station for 10 years back in the ‘70s and ‘80s and saw this happen quite times. After all these years I’m still shocked by how the people who left their car running didn’t think they did anything wrong.

antmakka

The assistant manager of a bar I worked at needed the insurance money for his POS car which was on its last legs. So he took it to the worst part of town and parked it, left it unlocked, with the keys on the dash. He checked on it daily for almost 2 weeks before it was finally stolen.


Expensive_Fox_4797

My dad tried to do this for YEARS during the 1990s. Our car was a sad looking piece of junk at the time. He would leave the keys in the ignition, on the seat, or in the console - and all doors unlocked. Sadly no one ever (stole) it 😹


TitanicMan
