I met a friend at Applebee's.. We ate appetizers and had a couple of drinks. Well, it was time to go, so we said our goodbyes. I went to what I thought was my car. I got in the car and noticed something was not right. The seats were different. The mirror had something dangling from it. Then it hit me. I started to freak out. I tried to open the door but it locked. I finally got the door open and jumped out. I practically ran to my car. That was so embarrassing.
Has that ever happened to anyone?
B.T.W my friend was standing there laughing the whole time. Lol surprised embarassed laugh
Also why do people leave their cars unlocked?! grumble

Don't feel too bad, we all need to laugh at ourselves now and again. The same thing happened to my daughter. Unlocked car, looked just like hers but the key wouldn't work. That's when she noticed a sweater on the passengers seat and several people in the restaurant window staring at her. Yes, she was embarrassed.

This happened a LONG time ago when I was still in my younger days. I was changing tires for the Woolco garage and I was given a work order to bring in a Chevelle. I went out, found it and drove it in. Of course I went to open the trunk, the trunk key would not work. So, we called the customer down, who walked, looked and said "That's not my car". Slight panic as I get back in the car, and put it back about where I found it. The customer brings his car in.. The police show up.. I want you for car theft the officer says with a smile on his face. He had driven by earlier and had seen the cars moved about and had an idea about what had happened. The two car owners traded keys, and each key would start the other car. That is when the officer said there is one in 26 chance of that happening.

That was back in the 70's before there were all these chip keys etc. We all had a good laugh at the end of it all.

Hahaha ha. .. happened to me a few times. One time a Co worker told me to go to her car and get something out of the arm rest. I think it was money for her part in lunch, anyway, she told me what the car looked like and where it was at. It was like midnight and dark in the parking lot. I get in the car, look in arm rest, no money. I go threw the car, pull things out and turn it upside down and found nothing. I go back in and tell her I couldn't find it. She goes to her vehicle and brings it right back in. I was like, I turned that car upside down looking for it. She pointed her car out, it was on the other side of the parking lot. Tp this day, I have no idea whose car I ransacked.

Wow, I am glad you were safe.

It has never happened to me, yet. I leave my door unlocked just because I dont keep anything in it worth stealing and it takes less time to NOT lock it when I am in a rush,,lol.
