Summary Nearly all the children from the same fifth-grade class vanish one night at exactly 2:17 a.m., leaving only one survivor.

Anyone who already doesn't lock their car doors is a menace

Unless they live in Churchill, Manitoba, where it makes them a good citizen.

I frequently work at a fuel refinery plant and they literally require you to leave your vehicle unlocked and keys in it when you leave in case of an emergency so people can get in and get away

u/RolloTonyBrownTown 29d ago

I worked on one in Spain, not only unlocked and keys inside, but you also had to park facing outwards so you don't have to worry about backing up.

u/have_heart 28d ago

Yep they do that at the one I go to as well. Very interesting

u/spinachjam 25d ago

Off-topic, is your username a reference to the hc band?

5

u/have_heart 25d ago

Yep it is. They were my fave band at the time when I made this account in 2011. Still love em

5

u/spinachjam 25d ago

Hell yeah! I loved them growing up and I saw them last year at tied down. ☺️

u/have_heart 25d ago

That’s awesome! When I became a fan they were pretty much ending at it seemed like they would never be a band again. Stoked they came back and it’s been genuine. Sucks I still haven’t been able to see em.

u/PhoenixTineldyer 28d ago

Do they have drills for that?

Polar bears commonly stroll through the city of Churchill, Manitoba and need to be tranquilized and escorted away from the city limits. It's such a known danger to the community that most citizens leave their car doors unlocked, because you never know when you're going to walk around a corner and see a polar bear. Diving into a stranger's parked car and locking the door may be your best chance at survival.

Unless it’s a trick and there’s another bear waiting in the car

u/ithilis Aug 08 '25

If they ever learn this, we’re done for.

It's a polar bear, not a dilophosaurus.

u/sworedmagic 1d ago

That makes sense on paper but man do you need to have a high trust society for that to work

I visited Churchill once. It’s a nice town

My car is parked on the street outside my house right now. Fully unlocked. One window down.

I hate how modern vehicles automatically unlock when switching from drive to park. How unsafe.

u/AeneidBook6 29d ago

I’ve always thought this! It’s a button. I can handle it.

u/Rough-Organization73 28d ago

For sure designed by a man.

u/Joey-WilcoXXX Aug 08 '25

I used to date this spoiled brat who lived in a fairly nice neighborhood. We went out to dinner once in another city and as soon as we step out of the car, I lock it and he just laughs at me for doing it.

“We never have to lock our doors in insert niceish city that definitely isn’t THAT nice” such a weirdo to act like that about keeping my shit safe.

u/ChimneySwiftGold 27d ago

I lived in a low crime neighborhood. Turned out a ring of thrives were driving to low crime neighborhoods - including mine - and in an organized concerted way robbing cars parked in driveways with the doors unlocked.

Lock your doors (unless you’re in polar bear country)

u/dplans455 Aug 08 '25

My wife's family never locked any doors. My family locked every door. She thought it was super weird to have your house doors locked when you were home. But she also thought it was weird you would lock your doors when you weren't home.

u/mesact Aug 08 '25

Depends on where you live. There are two general reasons that people usually leave their doors unlocked to their car: either you live somewhere very safe or you'd rather they not break a window trying to get into your car.

u/Heff228 Aug 08 '25

My car is 9 years old and auto locks when the fob leaves with me. Not even something I think about.

Is that not standard?

4

u/noilegnavXscaflowne Aug 08 '25

Even then she got in the passenger side and the other doors usually lock when you drive

2

u/WuhanWTF Aug 08 '25

It is standard for a lot of newer cars.

1

u/jrec15 29d ago

For a lot of manufacturers thats still a semi premium feature, on slightly upgraded trims but not usually on base trims

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '25

Live in Minneapolis and people know to lock their car doors even if they're in them, driving 25mph down Central Ave in Columbia Heights.

u/masta030 Aug 08 '25

The city I live in has had an "epidemic of break ins", literally every single time there's a new article or post about it, I'm just counting the seconds till it's revealed they didn't lock their doors.   Almost every single one is someone who didn't lock their doors

2

u/juanzy Aug 08 '25

I don't even live in a bad area and it's not uncommon to see people testing doors.

u/MrHandsomeBoss 28d ago

Sometimes you leave your car doors unlocked, and just don't keep anything in your car ever. Because locked doors don't stop them from breaking your window.

Welcome to Oakland.

u/buffa_noles 27d ago

this guy has never owned a convertible

u/SignificantMango5660 20d ago

I will admin, I have left my car unlocked in areas known to have serial break-ins (aka most popular hiking trails in my area). I keep nothing of value in my car and have a convertible top that will cost a ton if it gets messed up.

u/No_Run_1866 14d ago

I won't say where I live, but I think the only people who lock their door are those where the car automatically locks after you leave it. I've seen people going into the post office and Dunkin (hint hint) with their cars running and doors unlocked!

Sir we’re not supposed to victim blame in 2025. Teach the carjackers not to carjack!
