Pointless

[excelsior-1]

how's this for laughs


a young woman arrived in her car yesterday afternoon to visit my neighbour
the car was a convertible, and the top was down

after she got out of the car, she, locked the doors

[pixie373]

Lol. Sort of thing I would do!

[Tilly2]

It's just a habit. Was she a nun?

[emeritus]

Because locking the doors also activates the engine immobiliser

[mikey4444]

I'm just glad that she had the roof down in the first place ! Britain has more convertibles than sunny countries like Italy, despite our awful weather, and all you normally see, even on a lovely day, is people driving around with the roof UP !

[Prudie]

Emeritus is right, it activates the alarm and immobiliser. Mind you I have a convertible and I'd never leave it with the top down unattended.

[vodkancoke]

I have left mine locked with the roof down if I'm popping into a shop. I don't leave anything in view that can be pinched and the car is alarmed and imobilised.

[lady-janine]

not me tilly.

[Baldric]

How else would she activate alarm?

[carrust]

What do you call a Lada convertible?

A skip.....

[weecalf]

we gave 100 people 100 seconds to come up with a reason for that Pointless answer it was not raining

[Tilly2]

I had a convertible once. It didn't matter whether the roof was up or down, I still got wet when it rained.

[Tilly2]

Lady, J were you one of the one's on the bike, causing mayhem last night?

[naomi24]

I do that.

[tonyav]

Very rare that I leave mine parked with the roof down but if I do I always make sure it's locked ( even in my garage ), because has emeritus say's it also activates the engine immobiliser.

Mine had a sensor that would activate the alarm even if someone leaned into the car. Gave my boss a fright when he leant in to pick up a coat I'd left on the passenger seat.
