I've been writing up one of these a day for a year now in a diary, and it does help me feel better about life.
1. I'm glad that I noticed I had gotten into a rut, and went on a long bicycle tour to find a new location.
2. I'm glad that I used to go for walks late at night, and turn off the headlights of a parked car almost every time.
Off topic, but where were you that people didn't lock their cars?! Why would you mess with a stranger's car, except in the case of an actual emergency?
Toronto, Canada. I did it because I follow the Golden Rule, and because there was about zero chance of getting in trouble that fast. Anybody could see the lights go out, and the door close right away. A lot of people don't lock their cars even in rowdy areas, because the windows cost more than anything they leave inside.
Michael Moore did a video where he documented conditions in Detroit, and then crossed the river to Windsor, Ontario, and found that most houses had unlocked doors. A lot of houses are left unlocked in winter just to make sure that nobody freezes to death nearby. Cars are left unlocked in Churchill Manitoba in the spring in case somebody needs to get away from a Polar bear. However, cars are locked in most of rural Canada in late summer to keep them from being filled with Zucchini.
