There was no crime. I had an identical car parked down the street. After a couple minutes of wondering why my door wouldn't unlock, I noticed my error and made an embarrassed jog to my own car. This city has too many silver Subarus!

Are you one of those Monster energy chugging cotton candy flavored vape cloud Limp Bizkit bumping Subaru Motorsports-type Subaru drivers?
Or are you one of those Vermont craft IPA Patagonia flannel wearing Fleet Foxes national park sticker Yeti in the back-type Subaru drivers?
I jest :)

Easy on the Limp Bizkit! I drink IPA and listen to Limp Bizkit...and I'm a 45 y/o black man...drives people crazy when I pull up. haha

And this is something to be proud of? You're drinking the Nickelback of beer and listening to the Nickelback of raprock.
For shame, sir.

My good Baltimorean, I nearly think you’ve insulted my drink of choice! How dare you compare my strawberry vanilla lemonade shandy milkshake IPA to Nickleback?!

Everyone talks shit about Limp Bizkit but every time one of their songs gets played, there's always an inner 16 year old kid wearing JNCOs and wallet chains desperate to come out and start headbanging.
addctd2badideas t1_j7bj0a9 wrote
Nah. I was 19 by the time they came onto the scene and thought they were trash, both musically and personally.
The footage I saw from Woodstock '99 pretty much cinched that.
Now if you play Alice in Chains or White Zombie, I'll headbang like mad. Because it's... what's the word... good.

Lol! Funny enough if this was in Butcher's Hill I did see this. I was slightly concerned someone was going around breaking into cars on my street at like 7am

My blunder was in Oakenshawe, in the afternoon. So I can't provide any reassurance as to what you saw 😬
Redbeard_BJJ t1_j79g2c2 wrote
Oh no! That's a really strange coincidence. Perhaps it was the owner of the Subaru you tried to get into and he was similarly confused.

That’s why u put stickers on it... but not too many, bc then you’ll look like the one w all the stickers on it

Once did this when I rented a red Hyundai accent. Completely forgot my neighbor had the same car in literally the exact same spec, and generation. (stick shift, interior and exterior colors, everything). Looked identical enough, I tried to open it multiple times because I was convinced.
​
Felt very dumb for the rest of the day, Very glad no alarm went off and hopefully no one saw lol

I jumped into the passenger seat of someone’s red grand am when my sister was supposed to be picking me up in hers. I sat down and looked over before very quickly apologizing and running off

Haha! Wife did the same many years ago as we were leaving the mall- except it was an Accord and the cars were parked side-by-side. She walks up and gets in while I’m fiddling with the keys. I unlock my car, get in and go to start. I look over to my right and there she is sitting in the car next to me. I almost panicked until the car started. Then I honk the horn and she looks over. The look on her face! Priceless!!

I had one. There are three parked near my house right now.

Did that at a state park once but it was a Blue Sienna (they're everywhere!) and it was unlocked. So the family is half in the van when all our brains finally clicked with things like "I don't recognize that jacket...?"

Too many Subarus across the board. I already have the exact same red Forester as one of the other parents at my kid's daycare. Our kids have both confused our cars.
HenriettaHiggins t1_j79rz7o wrote
Lol there are multiple black Subarus on my street with the same model. One is mine. One doesn’t lock its doors. I found that out the hard way with a hand full of bags!

One night, I went out to my car to grab something and found it unlocked. "Stupid me," I thought as I went into the back seat.
Then I realized that several things were missing--among them being a bag of empty food wrappers and other trash. "Who steals a bag of trash??" I thought.
But it wasn't just that things were missing. No, random stuff has been put there instead. A shoebox with a pair of old Nikes. A packages set of bedsheets. "Who the hell goes into a car, steals garbage, and leaves behind their own stuff????"
And then the penny dropped and I realized I had been rooting around in someone else's black Nissan Versa.
I backed away with my hands up, loudly declaring to the empty alley that "this is not my car, holy shit this is not my car, oh my god I'm an idiot".

I have been delivering pizzas at night out in Harford County. We're hustling to and from the car, no time to waste, chasing tips. Many car doors are unlocked out here. My previous vehicle was a black SUV and several times I delivered the pizza, bolted off the porch, and straight into the customer's black SUV in the driveway. Always got a laugh instead of buckshot in the ass thankfully.

I have done this with my Subaru a couple of times. My husband has done it with a rental car. This is very relatable

A tip.
Get some Badges Of Ownership. They're free for Subaru owners - the go by your VIN. This'll help you identify yours without wallpapering it with stickers.
FineHeron OP t1_j7ccq4y wrote
Wow that's cool! I didn't know about these. Thanks for the tip; I'll look into them.

I like'em. :) And they're subtle.
