Re: Time for the "locked in a hot car" stories again..

Horrible, if the child/pet can't come in with you, leave them at home (or don't go out).

I was at a local market on Monday and gave a coat hanger to a guy letting a dog out of a car. I didn't have my phone with me (unusual) but would have called the cops. He was going to wait for the owners to return and blast them. I saw a video shot by a vet and in 30 mins the temp in the vehicle went up 20F and this was with all 4 windows cracked open.

Major kudos to you and the guy opening the car for doing that!!

I only wish you had found a phone somewhere and called the cops anyway. People like that should not be allowed to have a dog.

The incredible stupidity that causes a child to die is exactly the same. Some people shouldn't be allowed to have dogs OR children. It's unfathomable to me what kinds of thought processes occur in their brains. I can only imagine that an EEG would show a flat line.

100% hindsight I should have. I'm actually not sure if the police lay charges with pets locked in cars. I know if you call them they will get them out (breaking windows if need be).

A friend passed on this link the other day. I'm thinking of using them fall to spring when I see dogs left in cars.

I think a sticker you paste on the car that can't be removed without damaging the paint is more appropriate.

I suspect that there will be stickers plastered all over the insides of cars about this soon enough.

Wow that was a great video, and the back window looked open enough for a small dog to get through. But that was insane, after 30m the inside hit almost 120F.

The rest of the time use this sort of tool, if the risk of killing their child/pet isn't enough, the hefty cost of replacement glass might make the message sink in.
