      They are. The people who do this? They are you and me and your neighbor.

      Check out this article: Fatal Distraction, it won a Pulitzer Prize. It’s about how the mind works and why this incident keeps happening over and over again.

      Yes they are. And if you think you’re better than these people and couldn’t forget and have a slip up you are wrong.

      We hope. Probably preaching to the choir, but even five minutes in 90+, it can get dangerously hot inside a car.

      Also, even if it’s not, there’s other dangers. It’s all around just not cool.

          I always assumed that was a notice to people stealing cars from the lot.

          You know. Make sure the car with the keys wasn’t left running cuz the kid was sleeping.

          Definitely don’t want the 3 kinds of hell for stealing a car with a kid in it. (Cops gonna totally blame you aren’t they PIT lil’ Tommy into the ditch.)
