!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! details how someone got in another person’s car, drove it away and filled it with gas thinking it was their own. How do you possibly do that?
When I get in my own CX-3, I immediately feel like its “off” if my wife has been driving it. The seat and mirrors are wrong to begin with.
This isn’t the first I’ve heard of this either.

Some people aren’t very observant.

“I think all of us have done it at one time or another ... have gotten into a vehicle and realized that this isn’t my vehicle, and have climbed out before we actually drove off.”
A LEO said this. Wow.
BrianGriffin thinks “reliable” is just a state of mind

My gf owns a gray/brown 2015 CRV. I’ve gone so far as to open the door and sit in the wrong one in a big parking lot. Turns out our car was parked literally right next to it. There’s one at my kids school that he always runs up to thinking it’s us. I can kinda understand how an older person could be confused and drive away if the car started up, ya know?
Boring crossovers are boring.

Similar story, but with keys. Two identical Crown Vics in a Halifax-area shopping mall parking lot. Cars had similar keys, family hopped in the wrong car and headed to BC on vacation. Other owner returned, figured out it wasn’t his car, and figured out what had happened. Eventually the RCMP (probably through one of those “back in the day” [person] please call the RCMP radio messages) tracked them down in BC. The other owner was pretty understanding about it - they told them not to bother coming back early, and I think he drove their car once they figured out what had happened since the keys worked in both, and they just squared up for the wear and tear on the car.
I could see it happening in NS too - cars have squeaky clean interiors. Nothing gets left in the car, there’s no crap lying around.
It’s weird that the guy was able to restart the car at the gas station though, you’d have thought the wrong
fob wouldn’t have let him restart the car.

When I worked at the dealership I nearly had a parking accident. I was sitting in a brand new Escape, and I took my footy off the brake while the car was still in reverse.
The key was in my hand, an in my mind if the key is in my hand the car must be off right? Thankfully there was a good 5-6 feet between the rows of cars because i could have backed into a 3500 Ram. And that would have been expensive

At least you didn’t walk away with the engine running. I’ve heard MANY of such stories from friends’ parents when all the lease-grade luxury compact sedan/crossovers all switched to these keys.

From the article, RCMP Cpl. Dal Hutchinson:
“I think all of us have done it at one time or another ... have gotten into a vehicle and realized that this isn’t my vehicle, and have climbed out before we actually drove off.”
FFS n o! I have literally never done this! This isn’t just some situation that happens to everyday people. It takes bad decisions on the part of the user to make this happen.

I haven’t seen another topaz blue E46 wagon in about 2 years. I think I’m safe.
Our black Volvo wagon, though....

Probably the owner left her key inside the car so when the man came to the car it was open and was able to start it and go. Still most cars with keyless beep at you if you try to lock them and the key is still inside but I guess some people just don’t care.

This one still boggles my mind:
People put so much faith in “if I get in and it starts, it’s my car” that they ignore all sorts of other evidence.

People are dumb. I pulled into a Starbucks parking lot so my boss could use their bathroom, and, while I was waiting, an older woman opened the passenger door, sat down, closed the door, then looked at me with an astonished look on her face, and got back out. She apologetically explained that she thought it was her daughter’s car. I watched as she walked over to a white RAV4 and got in, I was in a white Escape.
