If you don’t want strangers in your car, lock your doors.
Late the other night as I was returning alone to my car after watching Batman Begins, I noticed that the car parked next to mine had its lights left on. One of the doors was unlocked, and there was no one around, so I let myself in to turn the lights off.
Almost everyone thinks I’m nuts for doing so. Well, at least I didn’t get myself arrested or shot.

Who is you? Batman?

So did you leave the door locked or unlocked?

Hm, maybe the movie did influence me. I hadn’t thought about that.
And I left the door unlocked.

Batman would have locked the door.

By the way, was it a newer model car? The lights turn off and doors lock automatically with newer cars… unless some jerkass opens the door.

No, this was a pretty old, beaten-up car. It didn’t have power locks.
If it were a new car, I probably wouldn’t have touched it in case it had a car alarm.

Was Batman Begins any good?

I thought Batman Begins overall was okay. The first half was great, but the second half seemed a little goofy. The implausible supervillain scheme that involved really bad movie physics was my main complaint. I liked it better than any of the previous Batman films, though.
