Along comes the beat cop, who says, "Hey, bub! You can't park that pile of tin here!"

Re: Which came first
Now days it's called carjacking & they look for a car with a driver just in case it has a manual transmission that they can't drive! That's why you can leave the key in your T & it won't be stolen but the Motometer will!

Re: Which came first
Similar to the Safe-T-Man dummy that was marketed circa late 1980s/early 1990s.
The original idea was women who drove alone could put it in the passenger seat of their car.
An employee of the company where I worked was ticketed when he was caught driving in the carpool lane with a Safe-T-Man in the passenger seat.
