You're waiting to pull out on the road. It's taking forever because there's so much traffic, and you're getting frustrated. Finally, there's an opening, but as soon as you start to go, the jerk behind you squeals his tires and pulls around you and cuts you off, getting on the road. You're able to see that the car was a BMW and has the vanity plates of your state "COOLGUY". You then have to wait some more because there's traffic again.

You finally get on the road and to your destination, which is a store with a big parking lot. You can't help but notice that that same BMW with the "COOLGUY" plates is in the parking lot. Not only is the owner of that car a jerk, he's an idiot. He's left his keys in the car, and it's running, but no one is inside it. You realize you could make life really difficult for him by driving off with his car, and you could leave it anywhere. However, you notice there are security cameras.

You then notice there are a couple of punks attempting to hotwire a different car. They're frustrated and cussing, having a hard time doing so. You realize you could make their day AND get revenge against "coolguy" by simply telling them about the BMW with its keys in it.

What do you do?

1. Yeah, baby. Point them to the jerk's BMW -- revenge is sweet.
2. Call 911 and report the would-be car thieves, but leave the BMW alone.
3. Report the car thieves and go into the store to find the BMW owner, letting him know he left his keys in his running car.
4. Cover your head with a T-shirt ninja mask and drive off with the BMW and leave it in a no parking zone where it will get towed.
5. Other. (Explain)

If the car has other cars parked on either side and in front, I would stack six shopping carts upside down in pyramid form behind the car. If any of the other sides of the car have open slots, I would grab more shopping carts and stack them the exact same way in each spot.

Hopefully the shopping carts are the old heavy iron kind. That will make it extra hard for cool guy to unstack them.

I would wait somewhere nearby for him to return to his car. Then I would record him unstacking all the shopping carts cussing and upload the video to TikTok with the title, "Cool Guy Loses His Cool."

ROFLMAO. That's a good one. I didn't think of that.

You forgot a couple of options. I would do number 3, but options I would consider are:
- Cover head with T-shirt ninja mask and drop a deuce in the driver's seat, hoping he won't notice it until he sits in it
- turn the car off, take the keys and throw them onto the roof of the store and go on my way.
- Do nothing. Let nature take its course.

People drive like idiots for a reason sometimes. An ex-employee could have just taken his ex co-workers hostage inside the store. And the owner of the BMW, an off duty cop, was on the phone with his wife when he heard the altercation. So you take option #2. You call the cops, keep an eye on the thieves, and leave the car alone.

Another option is to take his keys and throw them somewhere where he won't be able to find them.

I would probably do nothing. It is pointless to get into it with crazy drivers.

Pointing the running car out to the thieves is not illegal.

LOL. I know Walter White was a bad guy, but there were some places where I totally rooted for him. This was one of them. That "Ken Wins" guy was a major scumbag and totally deserved that. The other time was when some bullies were mocking Walter's disabled son and Walter totally stood up to them. I was like, "Go, Walter!"

Other times, I couldn't root for him so much, like when he stood there and let the girl choke to death on her own vomit. That was horrifying.

Bad behavior is usually self-punishing; he'll get his without your interference. Just go about your business and teach your kids not to act like that.
If you believe in karma. I see too many scumbags living great lives to believe in karma.

I would have a discussion about the BMW with the car thieves and I would keep on walking.

Not going to lie, I’d be awfully tempted to veer them towards the BMW. With today’s hidden cameras and surveillance, knowing my luck someone would see me talk to them and I’d be a “person of interest” in the case. LOL
