Another POS oxygen thief with one of those wacky names....Tre-on. Where did his parent[s] get THAT one from?

What makes me just curl up inside is the look on the face - no humanity in there, is there?

The car owner looks like a d-bag.

So impatient with his life that he leaves the car running when he goes into the store, still talking on the phone like he's got something important to say (he doesn't--important calls are taken in private).

I feel bad that someone died.

Not blaming him for a woman's death--he didn't cause it. But I do hope that he reflects on the situation and maybe goes through life a little less self-absorbed.

Did this guy want his car stolen? Always, always lock and take your keys with you

I can't say I agree with you that he's self-absorbed. Is he a fool for leaving his car running and unlocked? Yep.

Being on the phone doesn't have any relevance to it. I've been in plenty of public settings while I'm on my phone, that doesn't make me self-absorbed.

I do find it odd that he walks out of the store and goes around the corner. Now I don't know what's over there but I doubt it's the ice machine. Looks to me like he wanted that car stolen.

I disagree. Social etiquette has changed quite a bit since mobile phones were first introduced.

Phone calls are disruptive to those around you. In an era where important things are now routinely handled by corporate instant messenger, email, and texts, there's really hardly any excuse to stand around and yap away on the phone in public. If you need to take an important phone call, the people around you and the people on the other end of the phone will appreciate it if you take the phone call somewhere private--even the inside of your car will suffice.

I know this shift is happening because I see people self-policing this bad habit all the time. Someone will get a phone call, and the call will be pushed back to a later time: "Hey, I just got in line at the store. Can I call you back when I'm done?" That's the polite way to handle phone calls in public--not taking your call from the car, into the store, through the transaction, then back out.

Fulfilling your need to be on the phone, without regard to the inconvenience or disruption to others, is being self-absorbed, no?

It's a gas station. Lots of them have the bathroom around the side, accessed from outside.

Whether or not he wanted to have his car stolen, going to the stop and rob, and leaving your car unlocked and running in the parking lot is inviting theft.

And I agree with you. I am very self-conscious talking on the phone in a public place where others can hear me. If I get a call when I'm around others, I rarely ever answer it unless I can find a private setting.

And if you're going to leave your car unlocked and running, at least make sure you're driving a manual...

Looking at that picture, it reminds me of an old expression.

The lights are on, but nobody is home.

I go to the gas station all the time and see cars running, unoccupied.

People are just stupid I think. Like the guys who leave their wallet and guns in their car overnight.

Should it be stolen? Hell no, but there is this thing call REALITY which occurs. People do bad shit and if you want a relatively safe and uneventful life when it comes to interacting with criminals, you make yourself an unappealing target.

Car off and locked. Maintain awareness. Don't yap on the phone. Etc, etc.

Otherwise enjoy spending some time in your life being a victim, filing police reports, and wasting your time.

Release the asshole to her family. Let them apply the appropriate justice to that asshole.

Ok, now we're talking inconveniencing or disrupting others which, then, I agree. But there is no clarity whether he is doing either.

Yes, I don't talk loud or I go to a quiet/remote area. Standing where he is and talking at the top of his lungs and interfering with others would be self-absorbed. We can't tell if he's doing either.

I travel every week. There are always folks on the phone. Some quietly, some not. Some trying to talk while fishing for their ticket, some not. I agree with what you're saying, I just don't see that he's doing it.

I mean, sometimes when you're trying to get your car stolen and your hommeboy is late, you gots to make the call!

You guys are focusing on the car owner. Yeah, he's stupid but he's not responsible for the innocent woman's death.

The thief is the dirt bag in this story.

I don't even leave my car running unlocked in good neighborhoods.....

Is the white car that pulls in to right after Mr. Onthephone steps into the store the same white car that follows Mr. Onthephone's newly-stolen car out of the parking lot?

I remember my grandfather always said "it doesn't cost anything to lock a door"...he passed away when I was 10 in 1963...it was true then and it is more true today. Just ask any LEO.

I work on cash safes and atm's at a lot of stop and robs.

I've seen a lot of people leave their cars running while they go into the store.

On one occasion over half a year ago a man left his Ford F350 running when he came into the store with his 2 small children. I was at a table filling out some paperwork when he came in. I stopped doing the paperwork and went to check something on the safe. I was away from the table no more then three minutes when I got back his truck was gone. He had borrowed a cell phone from someone to call the police. Not only was his truck stolen I overheard him tell the dispatcher that he left his wallet and cellphone on the front seat of the truck.

Imagine what would've happened if he left his small children in the truck too!

This...good grief. May Debora rest in peace.

I too saw the white Impala early in the video and again following the stolen car.
Pretty obvious the car thief had help in this.
