I also didn't leave rugrat in the car when I ran into the stop and shop for a gallon of milk, or to pay for gas. Cars getting stolen arent as common around here, and my taurus isn't exactly a top 10 most wanted, but I just didn't want to risk it. I had this weird fear of setting her on the car, and then driving off...tho of course I never set her on the car. I do it a lot with sunglasses, cups of soda (pop), you name it

so maybe that's where it came from.
