That man's gotta have lived the most comfortable life ever, cause I couldn't ever imagine leaving keys in the car.
Why not leave your credit cards and a thank you note while you're at it
Lol!
Milk and cookies too.I know that's for Santa.I was going for comic effect.
😂😂😂
Tough lesson to learn that you should never ever leave your keys in the car. Should be common sense
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
agreed .... where did this guy grow up?
@@carpo719 Good question! In outer space lol:)
Well there is the American public school system in which common sense is frowned upon. Teachers Unions are another enemy of the US. I went into debt (which I repaid) making sure my kids were never in it. However, now the private schools are worse. Dems and Libs are all sickos.
I take uber to the airport. never bring my car and leave it there for them wokes
He left his keys in his car!!!!!
If I were this guy, I wouldn’t advertise that I left my keys in the car. That’s just dumb.
I’ve never trusted the airport lots.
Insurance fraud.
@@mattp4079 lol
What person in their right mind would leave their keys inside their car? WTH
This dude left a key in his car and it got stolen? He literally asked for it
He was not "literally" asking for it.
@@TheEngineerJason uh yeah he was leaving the keys to the vehicle in the vehicle
@@H3gamer360 look up what "literally" means then. This isn't difficult to understand.
Insurance fraud
Why would anyone believe these private lot operators that hire people at minimum wage give any thought to protecting cars from theft? I'd be worried that they are actually in on the thefts.
Even they did give thought, way too many cars and people go through these airport parking lots for any person working there to be able to tell whether they are the owner or robbers.
Left keys in car…in Portland of all places 😂 that’s sucks, hope everything gets fixed
I think Portland has become unlivable.
Wow, what world he live in? leaving your key inside your car. You can't even leave your packages in front of your door step. Oregon Highest Crime Rate & Highest Taxes State in the US, where local and state government do nothing. Just made yourself a easy target. Valet service at the Airport, Uber or Lyft. Sorry you bring this nightmare to yourself.
Last time I flew, I parked in the long term lot, and my garage door opener and anything in my glove box with my address on it came with me on my trip. Had to think like a criminal.
Even though you think the airport parking garage may be “secure”, always use extra safeguards when you can, even if you feel it’s more of an inconvenience. Safety should NOT be compromised by your inconvenience. Here are my tips: Take your keys with you, use “The Club” for your steering wheel, install a reliable alarm system for your vehicle, hide or take away your garage door openers, and if possible, take your car registration and insurance card with you when you park the car so possible intruders can’t find the address of your residence. It’s better to be safe than sorry!
Wow.. you're almost as helpful as Porkland Police bike theft task force..)/*
the club lmfao all you got to do is cut the steering wheel and the club fall off
Brian I like the way you think!
I feel for you dude. It happened to me too. Police caught the thieves and they were provided with counseling, attorney, etc. If I wanted a report from the police I had to pay $24. Nothing was paid to me.
LOL, seriously? Leaving your keys in your car? And the "smart" guy of the year award so far goes too....
So evidently the security guards don't do their job...
Why would the neighbor notice his friend's house was being robbed and fail to call the police? Did he call the guy the next day?
Why anybody would leave their keys in their car while they are out of the state blows my mind no common sense & I would sue the car lot company.
I don’t know if the owners of the parking lot can be held liable for damage, loss or theft. Depending on location, when you get a ticket as you’re driving into a lot or garage, most times the ticket will have a disclaimer printed on it as to the parking owner’s non-assumption of liability to anything that may happen to your car. It’s their way of covering their butts if someone tries to sue them. Is it fair? No.
While I feel bad for this man, WHY would you leave your keys in your vehicle?! Not only his car keys but his house key!? Did he leave directions to his house too?
This is what happens when you defund the police and decriminalization of crimes.
How about LEAVE THE VEHICLE AT HOME AND USE A TAXI SERVICE OF SOME TYPE LIKE UBER OR SOMETHING!!!!!
If you trust your security to Portland, don't be surprised or shocked when you end up losing far more than you thought you could.
He needs to hold himself 100% responsible for this mess, not anyone else. He left the keys in his car. Put an Apple airtag on your car keychain and take it with you.
The people who stole his vehicle broke into his house should be accountable too.
Keep your keys on you all the time. No brainer.
Your house was burglarized not robbed
You left your keys in your car… seriously?
“Chilling” story. Everything on the news is “Chilling”.
That's why i drive a junker,
One can always just leave the car key at home and take the house keys only, if they are not taking the car on vacation..that's what I do
Really? he didn't take his keys?
1:43, the guy admits he deliberately left his keys in the truck. Sounds more like insurance fraud and Im betting everything stole was insured.
This guy DESERVED to get Robbed.
I'm sorry but if you are dumb enough to leave your keys in the center console when you are out of town, that's what happens
They need to set up stings. Leave a bunch of cars at the airport with keys left in them. Then have a nasty little armed surprise waiting. Private citizens could do that themselves. Might send a message 😈
It won't send a message it won't change a thing.
NOT just Portland
San Francisco Oakland
Los Angeles
Even if your car is at home why befriend neighbors just to watch instead of housesit?, when flying always take keys/passport.
Dont leave your garage opener, documents, title, keys or anythibg else that reveals who you are or any valuables in your car. Carry your registration and proof of insurance on your person
Not to sound insensitive but leaving your keys to everything you own in your car is probably not a good idea 😂
If you're going to leave anything in the vehicle at least find a hidey-hole behind a trim panel where no one would ever think to look. Another trick I use is installing a blinking LED in a prominent location that does absolutely nothing but blink 24/7. Requires very little power & will discourage most thieves.
what is the point of leaving your key in your car for convenience? Why didn't he just hide his key somewhere around his property if putting the same key on the same key chain as the car key is such a nuisance?
He really made it easy to get his car stolen and house burglarized 😂
"Airport security"
His thinking is very antiquated. 🙃
GUY NOT SMART AT ALL, THIS WILL SURE TEACH HIM A LESSON OF HIS LIFETIME!
I think you’re just begging people to steal your car and rob your home if you have all the keys in the car.
This guy’s leaving his keys in the car and acting like the thieves are the problem.
take a dang uber, or as the oldies know it for, "cab".
Cabs never show up
No you don't
Why don't you guys start prosecuting criminals I know I saw the story the other day where this guy got caught in the next county over and he was devastated because he knew he was going to go to jail.
Hold people accountable? That's not what y'all voted for! Come on, man!
Nothing better than being forced to pay for parking depite your truck being empty
Hard to feel sorry for this guy. Leaving your keys in your car is insane.
I can't even imagine leaving the keys in a parking garage. But the Wokes in Portland can advocate for this to be standard operating procedure.
Portland, the St. Louis of the Northwest!
Lmao what a fool leaving his keys in the car
In California shoplifting and stealing is legal.......
Please tell me what way he leans politically. Maybe he voted for this.
NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER LEAVE YOUR KEEYS IN YOUR VEHICLE.
Safer to get a ride to airport
This is awful! I'm sorry this happened to him.
He left his keys in the car? My goodness! Hope he has learned.
Keep voting blue u got what u orderd
VOTE DEMONCRAP
Sorry that happened to him, wonder how he voted?
NEVER leave your keys in your car in any public parking situation. When I travel, I always hook my keys to a keyring in my backpack or my carry-on. It's a travel inconvenience but still better than the scenario highlighted in the video.
Using a simple anti-theft measure like a steering wheel club will effectively reduce theft not because a thief can't ultimately defeat the device, but because it's just easier to choose another unprotected vehicle parked nearby. Remove your car's registration and leave nothing in your car with your home address.
Remember to remove your default home address from your GPS navigation unit. I sometimes program a local police station address and set it as my home address when I leave my car in long term parking, but that's more of a feel-good stunt than an effective anti-theft measure. Take your garage door opener with you or or hide it in the car, and send yourself an email reminding yourself where you hid the garage door opener (and where you parked your car in the garage structure), and pin that email.
Just install a fuel cutoff switch. Problem solved.
Dead switch will be installed all US vehicles by law 2025. Not a good way to have it done though.
@@dellingson4833 that just means it will be on paper in the thieves will know how to go around it. I have an old Honda Accord, I installed my own fuel cutoff switch and I haven't had any problems since.
But the fact he still left his keys in his car means that the thieves would still have all the same access to all the same stuff.
But it is so expensive to park there and it's the pdx airport parking garage not a random parking garage in downtown San Francisco maybe the port authority can help but then again people use airports for meeting online dating people when they're not really flying
Defund the police right?? How's that workin
take a taxi - never leave your car at the airport
Of course he was never contacted by a detective. They’re too busy laughing at his stupidity.
Left his keys in his car??? In Portland??????????????????????
Paying the price for what you vote for.
He's paying the price for leaving his keys in his car you nincompoop.
Oh absolutely. You get what you voted for!
People keep saying this, probably people who have never even been to Portland. What exactly did people vote for? Can you be specific? Was there a vote on car theft?
Biden's Airport
Welcome to Portland
IT'S A TRAP! In a state where the governor and mayor are on the take... GET OUT OF OREGON! I feel so sorry for people that have built a life in Oregon... But it's time to get out!
Okay so where is safe to park then? I thought they would at least give us some information.
Our 2012 Audi A4 wagon was vandalized in the parking garage! The right front passenger window was smashed! I wanna punch the vandals but it is NEVER ok to punch or hurt people! The vandals are now going after Audis and BMWs because Audi and BMW put valet keys in the glove compartment, however the valet key wasn’t in our glove compartment! Audi and BMW owners PLEASE take your valet key out of the glove compartment!
Guards and security gates and still getting stolen? Employees are in on it
I can't believe he left his keys for his home in his automobile, wow, what , are you kidding. No sympathy.
He left his keys in his car?!? I mean that’s just asking for it.
Don't leave VALUABLES in the car?! That's an absurd request.. the car IS the valuable!
People are leaving the item worth tens of thousands of dollars with the parking lot because it's implied that they are safe there and watched and monitored and secured.
Blame the problems in Portland on the mayor
When you vote for it, don’t be surprised when you get it!
Lessons learned.
Nothing will happen . Possible it is the airport security that is responsible.
and they say that PDX is Safe. SMH. #pdxsafe
You people better get better city officials, mayor, governor, president, etc……
its also because of the people that work there - they help people steal cars.
probably his kids...
Why is your video so blurry
And you left all that in your car why????
this is his fault
Thats his own fault its common sense why would you leave a set of key in the car while you traveling but he took the spare with him what a dumby
Portlanistan
The best lesson this guy could learn from this (aside from not leaving his keys in the car) is to vote for a Republican in the next election.
Liberal cities gotta love them, I know I sure do lol
Taylor Linda Walker Christopher Williams Sharon
the only safe place is GOD!!!
Inside jobs
The amount of victim-blaming here is staggering. Wait until something like this happens to you for 'whatever' reason and, when you're at your most weak, read how your community feels about it. Sad state of affairs for many of you.
Sad state of lack of ability to think for you - everyone ends up subsidizing the cost of his insurance claims. He gave the property to the perpetrators. You are WOKE for sure. This was not an accident. It was gross negligence. And he took up needless police time.
it's this type of ignorance that keeps the wokies in Portland voting for lenient crime policies
The change in Portland is so depressing. They ruined our city in less then 2 years. Wow! Its crazy to see this going on everywhere and nothing being done to make a real impact. It's gone on too long and its awful what the residents are being put through. PO will never be the same. Its a mini NY now 😢.
Why would you leave your keys in your car that’s just a sitting target leave your keys at home locked away somewhere or with somebody you trust
