On 26 August 2014, Redditor ciacciojon created a post on Imgur with this caption: “I drive a Miata. Left the car parked with the top down. Come out to find the car moved 20 feet away.” In the post was a photograph of a note that stated, “I’m sorry about opening your car, but it was going to be towed, so I moved it to save you $200+. They tow really fast. Make sure to lock your car too. The quick release looks nice.”
Redditors, as usual, made some interesting comments:
1) Shaw-Deez commented, “Once in high school, I stayed in on a Friday night because I had to work early on Saturday. I was trying to show my parents I was responsible. Then while I was sleeping, 5 or 6 of my friends came over, picked up my Ford Tempo and turned it sideways in my driveway. My parents saw it the next morning, and came in my room and screamed at me. They thought I drove home drunk. I was confused as f[**]k. ‘How could I even park like that, Mom?’ , I remember saying. ‘It doesn’t make any sense. There’s no tire marks in the lawn. This is ridiculous.’ Needless to say they didn’t believe me, and it remained a mystery to me. I didn’t find out my friends moved it until two years later.”
2) Jorfredo commented, “Miata owners usually leave their cars unlocked. Why? Because it’s cheaper to have someone vandalize your car with doors open than to have to buy new soft top because they cut it to get into the car to vandalize it. Might as well leave it open and don’t keep anything of importance in it. What car thief is gonna think, ‘Shiet! This thin piece of cloth/rubber is keeping from getting into the car, better leave it alone’? Stealing the actual car, well that is pretty uncommon. Unless the car is loaded with aftermarket parts, there is no reason to steal it.”
3) El_Dubious_Mung commented, “It’s a Miata. All he had to do was put it in neutral, stick his foot out the door, and push it Flintstones style. They’re incredibly light. No hotwiring necessary.”
