No, I'm saying that if you leave your keys in your car and say, ramraids a convenience store, then it is perfectly reasonable for the police to investigate you as a potential suspect, if only to eliminate you as a suspect and direct the investigation in the right direction.<div>

</div>I cannot leave my car unlocked, because by law, I will be responsible<br>
for an accident. Do you want to tell me, that through the internet it<br>
is possible to create an accident, and additionally, I can be<br>
responsible for it, as well?<br>
