hehehehe, somewhee someone was looking a a car whose trun just popped
open and no one around. Knowing a bit of the city... I sure hope
whatever was in your trunk was still there. <g>

I would imagine so :)

And maybe you were far enough away from your rental for the fob's
signals to reach it... ;)

Had no problems at all when in NYC. The part of Manhattan I was in
was totally safe. To me anyway.

I've never had any issues in NYC, either... :)

Speaking of trunks popping open and no one around.
A few years ago at work I was going to make a money run to the bank
with meter money, which was always a police escort. The fella giving
me the ride forgot something and back into the station. I was standing beside the cruiser and thought I had heard snow slide off the station
roof and went to see but nothing there. Walking past the cruiser
where a co-worker was standing suddenly the trunk popped open and
closed again. We were laughing about that when suddenly the engine
burst into flames with the hood opening, doors opening, etc. There was some sort of "malfunction" and what I thought was snow sliding off the roof were the airbags opening.

Sounds like the computer went totally berserk... starting with setting
off the airbags.... ;)

We were very fortunate since if we left when planned we would have
been in traffic when that happened.

That was indeed very providential.... :)

I walked into the station telling the day commander, "One of your
cars is on fire". He looked out, freaked out, and grabbed a fire extinguisher but it took the fire department to totally put it out.
We called that Impala "old sparky" after that. :)
It was retired and sat in a garage for years until it finally
disappeared.

I'd not think it would have been drivable after all that....! :) Just
as well it was retired.... went out with a bang.... ;)
