When Mac was about half it's present population, many people didn't lock their houses or cars .... except during fall harvest ... for good reason.

A friend's unlocked vehicle or home was usually a target to leave a bounty. Tomatoes, corn, peppers, cucs, zucchini, etc. would be waiting for the owner ... and it became an every day game if the owner didn't change habits.

My dad would give me a ideas where to leave the produce, and chuckle that evening when the accusatory phone calls would began. It wasn't the produce itself that caused the calls, but the overall volume, since many in the area employed the practice. I can remember 'adding to the pile' already begun by others.

So Don, finding an unlocked home or car today might be more difficult than earlier times, but this method is a great way to spread the bounty. Just channel your 'devious side'!
