I would check the doors. If they are locked it seems unlikely it is

don't think you can be arrested for getting in an unlocked car. If
you can get the name you might be able to track them down and find
out what's up. If the car is legally parked and the tire is not flat
when the police come by I think you'd be ok calling them and asking
them to check it out but see if the plates look like the
registration is up to date. In some places a car with expired
registration will get towed if it's left parked more then some
limited amount of time on a public street.


I'd not risk my personal standing on "don't think
you can get arrested.... " which might turn into
a breaking and entering charge.

Looking in the glove box is a very good idea, in a
society where people are pure and caring. I'd be
tempted to wear some kind of gloves, so as not to
leave a lot of finger prints. Just in case, you
know. Might possibly have a second person on hand
as a backup witness that you didn't steal all the
cash that was in there.


I suppose, finding your prints in the car could be a problem after they find the
body in the trunk.
