Detroit resident Darrell Standberry doesn't navigate streets of the Motor City without his licensed handgun, and it already has saved his life once.
“I never leave home without my weapon,” he said. “You never know when or what you’ll encounter.”
It was 2011, when Standberry stopped at a gas station on Six Mile Road after attending his son’s football practice. After filling up the tank of his SUV, he left the car running and went inside to pay, only to spot a man jumping in behind the wheel.
“I went back over and told him to get out of my car," said Standberry, 46, aformer bar owner who is now a college student. "He told me to get the hell out of there and drove off.”

Makes sense. If someone wants to harm you or family may think twice.
No common sense, you never leave a vehicle running unattended.
5:58 True but only a criminal would steal it.
If your pet or family is in there, you keep it running. Sometimes even if not, asshat.
No one has the right to steal it then come back to shoot you.
If so, I hope he shoots you!
If cars are left running, they could slip into gear and run over people, this is a safety reminder folks.
