March 19, 20206 yr Lots of people around here still leave the keys in their cars, not so much with all the meth/heroin problems, but definitely common place to leave your keys in the ignition when I was a teen (90's). So I imagine it was even more commonplace to do so in the late 70's early 80's in the rural south.
March 19, 20206 yr Growing up in a not so safe neighborhood where you locked your doors and put 2x4's above opening windows it still astounds me that people leave doors unlocked and stuff in their vehicles. I remember the first overnight trip the wife and I took to a small nearby town. The B&B we stayed at left the doors unlocked 24/7 and even kept the back door open all night. I shut the door when I got up to use the bathroom overnight and got chastised the next morning by the owner . Though recently that small town has been hit with a rash of burglaries and car break ins so I bet to the residents there lock the doors now.
March 20, 20206 yr It's also unrealistic that nobody ever has to fill up on gas although they do a lot of driving!

Do they even still sell gas at the Boars Nest since old Brodie went missing ? Gas pumps at Cooter's in occasional use...usually for out-of-towners. The only other Gas Station I remember is the small store/station that they run down to to use the pay phone in a few episodes. Wish they would have used Homer Griggs (?) General Store in more episodes
March 21, 20206 yr I think there were 2 other places on the outskirts of the county where you could get gas. If anybody is interested I could look that up in my notebook.

March 21, 20206 yr Homer Griggs....I forgot about him. Rhuebottom is the only General Store I know of in town.
