    Cars queueing outside of Jiffy Lubes would be easy to steal. They’ve left their keys in the ignition, most of the time the people are just waiting inside, and won’t raise an alarm or call the cops for maybe 20 min or so. I always try to stay with my car until it’s going inside.

      I always wondered if others thought the same thought I have, and you just answered it. Lots of restaurant valet services in my city, and I’ve seen some of them literally grab my keys from off the top of my tire. Meaning an entire parking lot packed with cars with their respective keys all in the same spot…

      i don’t leave my car at the lube shop, once i watched the mechanics lock the keys inside the vehicle in the bay next to me. they were able to get it open, but i was glad i stayed in my car, even though it was hot that day. i like to see what they’re doing and know that my keys are with me.
