VT... "No animals or children should be left in an unattended vehicle for any reason. The driver might meet with a accident away from the car and then what?"

True. What is also true is that the intelligence of many human beings is exceptionally low. Just look at the recounts here in this thread, regarding their own children. Shocking, innit?

It's a fact... most (at least 50%) people are stunned as me arse. It's unfortunate, but it's true.

I could point out examples here at The Café but that would not be an intelligent thing to do. >;-)
