The logic for me is that my house keys are always in my pocket thus will never be locked in my car at the same time as my car keys. Of course, my current car has keyless entry so I will never be locked out as long as I don't forget the passcode.
There's an umpire in our crew who usually puts his keys in the wheel well of his truck while he's calling games.

I've been waiting for the perfect moment to move his truck on him. Maybe even into a handicap spot as a joke. If you knew this guy, it'd make a lot more sense.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
