I'm thinking nobody put the parking brake on....didn't realize it cuz it was kinda flat...

some big guy leaning on it pushed the car forward

and crashed through the glass and hit the traffic light post.

I HIGHLY doubt that was the result of some kid reving the car in the showroom. I've never been in a showroom where they hand the keys over to people. The cars in there are unlocked so people can sit inside and nothing more. Looks like maybe one of the guys who supposed to arrange the cars in the showroom got a little carried away.

HAHAHA. That's hilarious.

I just hope nobody got hurt, but I can't help but laugh when I look at these pictures.

I've been in car showrooms where you would find the keys in the ashtray or glovebox. The salespeople are usually all over you before you've had a chance to get that far but if they're busy, you get a chance to look around.

Wow, no chance of that here in Cali. All the keys are locked up and numbered inside a valet safe. Much like at the Porsche dealership in the begining of Gone in 60 Seconds, only the boxes are more sturdy. Some dealers might have the keys in a special locked box clipped onto a side window, but NEVER are they just lying around in the car. Some of the dealers here in Cali even remove the shift knobs and cigarette lighters.

Like my exploded hard drive post, somebody just sent me the link. I have no idea what the story is behind it.
