The risks that people are prepared to take for low-value gain doesn't cease .
Armed robbery/murder for a few quid is the not so rare pinnacle .

Lesson learned, don’t apply the park brake or leave transmission engaged when parking in a iffy location. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
There will be another one along in a few minutes.A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill. Stay Alive - KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE.
