    Let's keep it real.

    If you drive a Saturn, chances are you dont have anything inside it that is worth stealing.

    My first reaction as well. I'm guessing these are older cars.

    I had a Saturn for nine years. Piece of ____. They don't make them anymore. I do remember they gave me a plastic card with a plastic key you were supposed to detach if you ever got locked out of your car, and use in an emergency. I never ended up using it, but wondered how they could make plastic keys that still fit your car. Now I know.

    The tires never lasted long. The electrical parts, such as alternators, didn't either. The timing chain broke in the engine. (The Saturn dealership told me some untrue stories about not being able to be fixed or not being worth it.) The body was plastic which led to a lot of damage if it ran into anything at all.

    Fortunately no one ever tried to steal it or anything from it. By comparison, they took my boyfriend at the time's ancient Buick - probably easier to hot wire - and then later they tried to take my Chevy pickup.

    Lately I've been driving Hyundais and Kias. Non-American cars really are much less trouble.

    My brother in law and a boyfriend of my wife's sister had similar Chevy Silverados that they randomly figured out that their keys worked in each other's trucks.

    Cool story, bro.

    Who buys a freaking Saturn?!? Moreover, how in the blue hell did you find another person with a Saturn in the same state, city and day.

    I was also at a gas station back in about 2001 when I saw this 8/10 chick get out of a red Saturn. Myself with much youthful bravado tells the 8/10 chick "like your car, your ass is out of this world." I then got slapped.

    Must have hurt, considering how tall she was.

    A friend of mine had a Saturn that could be unlocked and started with another friend's mailbox key. Needless to say, there were a lot of pranks after that discovery was made.

    Yeah, I did a Snopes check on this one. No hits. Might actually be legit. If it is, EPIC FAIL on the part of Saturn.
