WOW! Funny stories! That is most of them. I think most of us have stories that this has happened to. Maybe the man may not need to be driving, or just maybe he just made a mistake like we all have. I have seen it happen to old and young alike. However, all those talking about someone moving their car in Walmart. One of my daughter had my van at Wal Mart, had a front parking spot. Her sister happen to come to Wal Mart also, and one happen to have the extra keys to the van and moved the van on the other side of the parking lot. When her sister came out and the van was not where she had parked it. Her sisters was laughing and she was mad. That happened several years ago, and still gets mad abou it.

So, how does this happen? Your key fits into someone else’s car and you are able to drive it off? That is crazy…I thought cars had different key fits. I guess you learn something new everyday.

Funny stories. I was surprised to read so many of the same mishaps.

Ok, I have to chime in. I drive a very popular colored SUV and twice I have tried to get in the wong vehicle one time a man was walking out and started laughing. He said “I seen that”. But NOTHING beats one day my hubby took my truck to Walmart. After shopping and buying a new back wiper blade he came out, took the old blade off, put the new one on and pressed the button to unlock the truck. It was then that he realized he put it on the wrong truck. So, he took the new one off and put the old one back on, went 2 cars down and put it on the right one

Back in the 60’s my Dad drove our 1964 white Impala home from the airport after being away for several days on a business trip. Later, that evening he as he was taking us out to dinner my Mom noticed the chrome “dealer logo” was not the the place where we bought our car and checked the registration, sure enough my Dad had driven the wrong car home. We went directly to the airport and found our identical car in the next row over, our keys fit both cars! My Mom left a note for the other owner explaining what happened, but, we never heard from them.

Those that think the elderly is the only ones this happens to are sadly mistaken. When I was very young, another young lady and I went to Gayfers in Mobile shopping. When we started to the car we could not find it. We looked the entire parking lot over and came to conclusion someone had stolen although I had the keys. We went back in, a security guard was called and they began looking everywhere. Finally, the guard came back laughing and told me it was on the other side of the store. We laughed all the way home. I have attempted to get in a number of cars with my keyless entry that didn’t work, have gone and looked inside and quickly determined it was not mine but I never tell anyone. I too am glad I live in a neighborhood that we have trustworthy neighbors who make mistakes.

Right after I got out of the military I was living in a very large cuty and went shopping at a huge mall. When I finished up shopping I came back to the garage I had parked in and put my key in the door of the car and unlocked it got in and started the engine. I looked over my shoulder to back out and saw all kinds of kids stuff in the back seat. Ihad no kids. I shut the car off locked it back and went to find mine which was about 4 cars down. It was the same make model and color. I awaited until th owner came out and approached him and told him what had happend. He chuckled and suggested he try his key in my car and sure enough it worked. I was concerned enough to call Ford motor company to see if there were other reports like this and was informed yes there was and although they are few and far between it does happen. They also went on to explain there are only so many key patterns tha can be used but the probability of this happening was almost slim to none. So that was my one and only experience like this.
I am glad the two men had a good laugh and all turned out well. For those of you who suggest the guy should not be driving it could happen you just as easy.

After reading all the comments it’s good to get a laugh out of a story and know I am not the only one that is crazy! I drive a very popular silver car and when I walk out of WalMart the only way I know which one is mine is to start hitting my key fob to make the lights blink! Glad this was a story with a good ending!
