More revenge of the stupid

I can't believe that they need to make a law for this. Courtsey of the Arizona Republic:

The Arizona Senate wants to provide a financial incentive for motorists to think twice before leaving keys in an unattended vehicle.

The Senate on Tuesday approved, 16-13, a bill (SB1059) sponsored by Republican Sen. Linda Gray of Glendale to allow automobile insurance companies to charge a triple deductible for claims for automobiles stolen when the keys were left inside.

One out of five vehicles stolen in Arizona had keys left in them, Gray said.

Um, I run to the mailbox and I lock my car. I see a couple neighbors start their cars and run back inside until their car heater kicks in. I won't have any sympathy for them if someone decides to run off with their car. I think that they should just fork over more money for their insurance when they have to renew their policy.

Speaking of insurance, mine is supposed to go down a bit again. I renew every six months, and finally the last time around was when my accident cleared the three year. So my monthly payments should go down even more...we'll see.
