What do you do if you see your neighbors car door left open?

I notice they leave their door open sometimes & I always ask myself if I should knock on the door & tell them in case theres a sensitive car alarm.. or just close it myself & hope there's no alarm so they don't think I'm a criminal 😂

I always just close it myself & luckily there's no alarm. I still think about how awkward it would be to explain if there was though lol

I'd just close it and not say anything. I'd hope someone would do that for me.😊I saw my neighbors cell phone laying in the driveway by her car. I picked it up and took it over to her house, she was very thankful. ⭐

@Peaches I haven't said anything before but I might now. I usually try looking out for my neighbors whether they know it or not 🤷 they've done the same. Luckily all my neighbors are good people

It'd be nice if they stopped by to let me know, so I would let them know if that happened.
I had a neighbor who would let me know whenever my garage door was open and I always appreciated it.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@lisalynn yeah I was thinking about letting them know just so they're more aware but I'll probably just say something when I see them out
Saw that once late at night, No one around. Unsure if they were unloading the truck and still nearby, so I just left the situation alone.
@ChiefJustWalks Yeah it's a whole 'nother sickness. Their systems they've got for scouting and marking targets. And young or old, male/ female, and babies are fair game.

Seems a neighbor was potentially a victim. Some guy was photographing her license plate while shopping. Had some flimsy claim about her hitting him on the way in.

@SethGreene531 wtf.. did the neighbor ever get caught? That's pretty fucked up
@ChiefJustWalks The potential victim I mean. She never called the police.

Haha I see my neighbour’s back hatch wide open quite often.
I just text her and let her know. It has always been because her 3 yr old was playing with her key fob 🤦‍♀️
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@ImpeccablyImperfect lmao that would work if I had her number. But dang that's funny 😅 you could buy a kid a toy set of keys & they'll STILL want yours

I'd knock on their door and tell them you noticed. In that way they'll hopefully remember next time.

My neigbors tell me if I've left my windows down, too.👍
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@eyeno yeah I wanna do that, I just hope they don't think I'm coming off as condescending 😂 like "yo y'all needa start shutting your doors"
eyeno · M
@ChiefJustWalks nope.., I was impressed that my neigbors cared, especially since my vehicle is parked right in front of my apartment.
I mean they could have blown it off knowing that.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@eyeno true. That's awesome though I'm glad you have good neighbors. Luckily I have good neighbors too. We all look out for each other here

{@chiefrunswith40oz] bassically at the end of the day you are doing them a big favour . if it was not for your diligent observation one day your neighbour will come out and find there car gone
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@smiler2012 there actually are some people who go around breaking into cars at night around here too. Mine got broken into a few months ago. I got home at 1am, walked to my car an hour later & it was already broken into. So I drove around the corner & found 4 dudes who ran off as soon as I parked & got out of my car.

Haven't seen em since 🤷

If I knew it had been left open for a long time I’d just close it
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@WhateverWorks my guess is it hasn't been too long. I came outside to smoke & nobody came out the whole time so I just closed it before I walked back inside
Carissimi · F
I would tell them. What if a child climbed in, and then was trapped inside. It’s happened.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Carissimi true 🤔 I reckon it might be one of the kids who left it open too considering it's a van & the door open this time was one of the sliding doors.
It literally closes from pushing a button so it would be easy to get locked in
Punches · 46-50, F
Wait a second, they forget to close it on a regular basis? Do they have Alzheimer's or something?

I mean okay we all have occasional brain farts but forgetting to close the car door enough that a neighbor notices? 🤨
Punches · 46-50, F
@ChiefJustWalks I do not imagine they would get upset if you mentioned it.
Maybe instead of instructing them they need to shut it, just ask why it is often left open. Maybe someone has been snooping around in their car.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Punches There actually are some dudes who break into cars around here too. I ran them off once & they've been gone since but it's only been a few months since then
Punches · 46-50, F
@ChiefJustWalks I doubt the same ones will come back. They are probably seeking easier, unwatched targets.
DeluxedEdition · 26-30, F
Close it or tell them
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@DeluxedEdition I closed it 👌

A couple years ago a neighbor left his truck passenger door open for hours and I saw a bag of golfclubs. No way was I going near that truck. Creeps and crazies are teeming over everywhere I know better..
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@SW-User lol didn't want anyone to think you were scoping? 😅
Budwick · 70-79, M
This is the problem you are struggling with?
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@Budwick who said it was a problem? Its just a question bud
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
If it happens enough times, I would maybe have a word with the neighbor.

After closing their car door, of course.
ChiefJustWalks · 26-30
@LordShadowfire yeah I was just considering that right now but I didn't wanna come off like "Yo I just closed your door & this is the 3rd time I've done it. You need to pay more attention" 😂 idk how to word it lol
