I always thought it was more a winter sport, most people leave their cars unlocked in the winter to get in more quickly.

I have never mentioned this before, for fear of making enemies here. But as a teenager I had a rather colorful past as my wife likes to put it.

You see I was part of an auto theft ring in the late 60’s early 70’s. Paid my dues, did my time, and paid restitution.
