I think that is an incredible lack of good judgement. That's not your car, keep your hands off of it... for sale sign and unlocked or not.
If that had been my car, and caught you doing that, I would have called the police.
What if the owner had walked up as you were performing your impromptu inspection under the hood and claimed something was missing from inside the car. With the hood up, you'd obviously been inside of the car.
Wow. A better idea would have been to at least call the phone number on the sign and *ASK* first, before helping yourself.
Im not going to call someone at 3am. Its not your car either so go somewhere else.
At 3am no less... Wow. It just keeps getting worse.
And by the way, I have no plans on going "somewhere else".
I dont know if you know this, but some people have jobs, where you get off in the middle of the night. Im getting ready to tuck into bed for the night..err, day.
Its a $800 beater with a scrap value of $400 (based on previous post). Not a $120k house. I wouldnt have done it with anything much more valuable than what we are talking about right now.
