If it wasn't a start stop engine, then she would have heard the engine
running when she got out, surely? Unless she's deaf, she has no excuse.


Your Hillman Minx can be heard a quarter mile away but most modern cars
are very quiet and cannot be heard over some ambient noise.

There would have to be a lot of noise. Unless she came home to find her husband using a bandsaw in the garage? Anyway, why the **** would you forget to switch off your car? I leave my key in the ignition, and I don't forget to switch it off. It's part of the second nature stuff I do when I stop, including putting it in gear, applying the handbrake etc.
