I saw this car while I was taking my dogs on their late night walk. It was standing at a fire hydrant with its lights on and motor running but nobody was behind the wheel. I assumed it was a late night food delivery. Anyway, you couldn’t get any more “target of opportunity” than this. I’m surprised that the crook didn’t take the car too.
