Here's a mind game for you. I own the exact same model car as you in the same color. I accidently drive off with your one (putting the fact the keys were in the ignition down to my own absentmindedness), and as a result get stopped by the police for grand theft auto. What happens then?

The correct answer is "as soon as you figure out what's going on, you ask to speak to your lawyer": http://boingboing.net/2008/07/28/law-prof-and-cop-agr.html http://boingboing.net/2008/07/28/law-prof-and-cop-agr.html I expect that your lawyer will then explain the situation to the cops, point to your car in the parking lot, point to your lack of criminal record, motive, or experience in fencing stolen cars, offer a stirring and heartfelt apology on your behalf, and then stand by to argue. (But I can't be sure of that, because I am not a lawyer myself.)
