Who to call?
 
We are going to be up north for a while and noticed on security camera that I left one of my car windows down.
Wondering who I could call to tape a piece of plastic over it until we get back.
Neighbors are out of town as well

I would suggest calling Community Watch, or if that doesn't work, call the police.

But why couldn't someone just close the windows? My car has an app where I can unlock the car, or even start the car remotely. Unfortunately, I can't close the windows.

Maybe you should tell us where your car is located. Someone on this forum may be close by. Start with the general village, no need to give your specific address, until someone close by contacts you - then you can give it privately.

Note that all cars have a manual way to open the door from the inside if someone can reach the inside door panel. Also, if they cannot open the doors, you could FedEx them a key.

AAA, tow truck company, police, fire department, community watch

We’ve had quite a bit of rain over past few days. If any of that water got inside your car you’re going to have a smelly, moldy mess by the time you get home. I would contact one of your neighbors immediately. If they can’t help, Community Watch would be my next try.

Tried community watch and AAA-both declined due to not in their purview

If someone can reach in and open the door, just have them get a piece of plastic larger than the door, loop it over the top of the door and around the sides of the door then close the door. Any tape in the Florida sun will become one with the car paint and you will have a big mess on your hands.

House watcher

We go up north for the summer too. We have a house watcher. If it happened to me, I'd call her and see would take care of it. Perhaps, someone who is a house watcher would do it for a one time fee. I think plastic and duct tape would probably work. Yes, you will need some adhesive remover when you remove the tape.

I was trying to steal your Mr Helpful moniker but I've failed miserably.

If Community Watch does not help................there's a handful of guys who could stop by and find a solution for him.

He needs to let us know (PM obviously) where he lives and if he wants ToTV Team to help.

Let us know the outcome.
