This person had their laptop and other valuable items in the car.
All that was taken was...a cloth, grocery shopping bag.
It is indeed weird.

Here I was thinking this was some bizarre occurrence. Now I'm wondering how often this sort of thing happens. And why it happens. Is it just someone looking for shelter? Like a homeless person in desperate need of a nap and a car is safer than out in the open? Who does these sorts of things? I've never known anyone who has gone into random cars, hung out, and left without taking anything. Hm.
I find it especially disturbing that the cigarette butts in the car was a repeat thing. That would seriously creep me out knowing that some stranger had claimed my car as theirs when they felt like using it. I guess yay that no damage was done though.
