I have a little different story. I left a big box store and for once knew where I parked. I followed a woman out into the parking lot which was filled with dirty black sedans similar to my Civic. She proceeded to my car, got in (wasn't locked), got back out, and took off in search of her own dirty black car. Now I have a silver Civic, just like most cars are today!
