...so, I go home for lunch, leaving my car in the driveway - unlocked. I live in a decent neighborhood, no real crime, and never had an issue with any vandalism, etc. I did not pull into the garage, but leave it in the driveway because I am only home for an hour. I dash in because it is raining.
I am inside for an hour....come back out and get in my car to get back to work....and it smells smoky - like cigarette smoke. I don't smoke so I know it's not me.
I look around the inside of the car and see cigarette ashes. Which is weird, as....I don't smoke.
I look on the driveway and see more ashes (wet because of rain) and it looks like a shoe print - not mine, because the print is too small.
Really perplexed by this, because....I don't smoke. Getting back in the car, and I see the inside of the passenger door is wet, and the passenger seat is pretty wet. I thought I had left the window down by mistake, but they are power windows and they were fully up.
I run back in the house to get a towel to wipe down the inside of the car, and when I come back out, there is a woman, walking her dog, working her way up into my driveway. And she is smoking a cigarette. She looks startled to see me and just freezes. It took me a second and then it dawned on me - this woman ducked into my car when it started raiing, with her wet dog, and just sat in my car smoking. I asked her if she had been inside my car with her dog and was smoking. Then I asked her - why she was on my driveway.
She went Defcon 5 Karen on me - screaming at me as to who the hell do I think I am questioning her and what she is doing. She starts ranting and raving that I have no right to question her and that she is going to egg my house and cut the top of the roof of my Miata. Then, she storms off, with her dog in the rain, leaving me speechless. (Which is rare for me).
I have never seen her before, although I think she lives on another street as I have seen the dog (loose) in the neighborhood.
So, the moral to the story is - make sure your doors of your car are always locked.
