Today, I couldn't see my car in a crowded car park. I pressed unlock on my keys and saw the lights flash. As I walked over I also saw someone run from my car with an armful of my stuff. FML

Damn. Sorry OP. Any chance you can get what got stolen covered?

People who steal from cars really drive me crazy...

The parking lot full of crows concerns me more than the theft...

Wow, either they were ready and waiting or just happened to be passing by at just the right time.

Ya, I don't quite understand how they knew op would be unlocking their car at that exact time. I think they may have jimmied the lock or something, and was already stealing stuff before op even showed up.

Call the police. That's just unfortunate :/

Am I the only person who immediately thought of that tumblr post about the car parks?

You should just use your car alarm, it's louder and keeps your car locked :p

Yeah but it's safer than unlocking it...

OP probably would have turned the alarm off after they located their car. The alarm really isn't that annoying unless it's going on for a long time.

Why would you unlock it while you were still far away In crowded parking lot?

Thing is those remotes only have a short range usually, often around 10-20 meters even with a good battery, assuming OP was walking at a normal pace that's hardly enough time for someone to steal stuff unless they were right there at the right place at the right time or as someone suggested they were already into OP's car before they hit the remote.

Unless OP used their phone to unlock their car. Usually the range for the phone remote is pretty long.

Should have pushed the lock button over and over. Anyway sorry OP hopefully the insurance can pay you out

why would you unlock the car with the lights just flashing. unlike when you double lock the car and the car beeps or even just using the alarm button. but I'm sorry that it happened :(

That's why there is a panic button which does not unlock the car and still tells you where it is
