   Sort of related.  First poster on NextDoor says someone is driving  his   
   car every night, maybe a friend of his son.  Another suggests he's using   
   it to drive for Uber. Then this woman writes:   
      
   Wow!  Something similar happened to me years ago.  Someone would get   
   into my car at night.  I have a Plymouth Sundance which was also known   
   as the Dodge Shadow.  There was no street parking where I lived, so you   
   had to pay to park in a city owned parking lot and every morning, I   
   would come out to my car and all of the windows would be rolled down!   
   It was the strangest thing.  It wasn’t me and it wasn’t an electrical   
   malfunction since you had to manually crank the windows down.  I believe   
   I was about 21 or 22 when this happened.  I was scared to even get in   
   the car.  My sister would come with me every morning so we could walk   
   around the car to make sure no one was hiding inside.  I ended up taping   
   a note to the steering wheel.  I wrote that “this was my first car and   
   the first car for my family and that we needed it.  I can’t stop you   
   from getting inside but can you please stop leaving the windows down in   
   all types of weather because I need this car to take care of my family.”   
   Who ever was doing it, took the note and stole my emergency tool kit   
   from the trunk; but they never messed with my car again…to my   
   knowledge.??.  So long story short, maybe a note will do the trick?
