You snatch up the keys

Steathily try all the cars

Not even one works!

*

Ha! We foiled you, Thief!

Those keys belonged to a car

sold for scrap metal!

*

A ploy to thwart a car thief during a home invasion… hang up old keys on the key hook and hide keys to functioning cars.

    Lol. And great advice! When I was young and worked at a nice restaurant, they eventually had to put the valet keys in a large, square, locked, glass box because of theft. Nice entry, Angie!
