  • Ok going to rant you should never leave children alone in a car for any length of time. Cars are targets for all sorts of bad people.

    Wanting to do horrible things to people is OK. Actually doing it is not.

    I know this was not a serious question but throwing petrol over people, without matches, is assault. With matches it could be considered attempted murder without anyone actually getting hurt.

    I assume you are making a generalisation about it taking the clamper 45 seconds to clamp her car, as I don't think any clamper could place a clamp that fast, unless they were stood right next the car when she parked (if they were it begs the question, why didn't they tell her she couldn't park there?). Therefore, the driver must have been away from the car for a few minutes, which, as Broken hearted points out, is not a good idea to do if you have left any living creature in the car.

    It only takes a bright bit of sun to heat up a car and dehydrate whatever is left in it.
