Backing into parking places can be a good idea. But, unlike our home state, Ohio, Florida has license plates only on the back. The car we have in TV is white with Florida plates. We know our plate numbers, but.......

Mr. Boomer had backed into a parking spot at a concert one evening last week. There was a crowd. After the concert, as we walked to what we thought was our car and Mr. Boomer was trying to unlock the doors, some people behind us were calling out, "NO! NO!" But we didn't realize they were talking to us until we heard, "NOT YOUR CAR!"

Fortunately, these were nice people and we all laughed about how we were trying to steal their car.

Night time. Crowded parking lot. White car. Tan interior. Florida. Backed in so the plates did not show. First glance. What could possibly go wrong.

We are not really car thieves.
