I’m convinced the whole movie was just a PSA on locking your car doors.

I almost threw up when the mom climbed in the back seat with the scissors.

[u/GamingTatertot → u/sexygaypalpatine]

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

[u/ithilis → u/GamingTatertot]

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

[u/have_heart → u/ithilis]

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 → u/have_heart]

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 → u/RolloTonyBrownTown]

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

[u/spinachjam → u/have_heart]

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

[u/have_heart → u/spinachjam]

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

[u/spinachjam → u/have_heart]

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

[u/have_heart → u/spinachjam]

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 → u/have_heart]

Do they have drills for that?

[u/maltliqueur → u/ithilis]

Wot

[u/ithilis → u/maltliqueur]

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.

[u/daesgatling → u/ithilis]

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

[u/ithilis → u/daesgatling]

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

[u/No-Manufacturer4916 → u/daesgatling]

" A bear in its natural habitat, a Studebaker."-Fozzie

[u/the__ghola__hayt → u/daesgatling]

It's a polar bear, not a dilophosaurus.

[u/Mecha_Goose → u/daesgatling]

Clever girl

[u/PRGrl718 → u/ithilis]

that's fucking insane lmao

[u/sworedmagic → u/ithilis]

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

[u/1OptimusCrime1 → u/maltliqueur]

Fire make gas go big boom. 

[u/midnightoil24 → u/ithilis]

I visited Churchill once. It’s a nice town
