Ode to the full service gas station

So I pick our car up from the corner mechanic after my wife left it there for an oil change. I pay for the work and they say the keys are in the ignition. The car is parked in the far corner of the lot where the attendant can't see it, right next to the street and sidewalk. As I get closer, I realize not only is the door unlocked with the keys in the ignition, but the window is rolled down too. Now I know where to go when I need a new (used) car for free. WTF?

I imagine they would be liable for it if it were stolen, but damn.
