Thought this was kind of strange. At first thought it was a runaway car until it turned the corner. :)

Recorded with Huisun mini bullet ptz in BI.

 
Perhaps he using wind resistance for slowing down, I don't see him using brakes in that corner :)
 
I thought maybe someone in the car had a intestinal gas problem and rolling down the windows wasn't enough. :D
 
Actually it was a nice warm cozy day. It was up to 32F (0C) at the time. :peaceful:
 
The mystery of the two open car doors might be solved. I got to thinking that it might be the paperboy. He might have both doors open so he can throw out the newspaper at each house instead of having to get out of the car. If it is him, then I would say he's lazy. :peaceful:
 
I am not convinced. Usually open windows are enough... at least on the driver side that should be easy to throw newspaper. Also, I doubt there are enough newspaper subscribers these days to be that lazy :)

What made me think it might be the paperboy was that the car drove by again early this morning with only the passenger door open this time. I think it might be the same car.

 
Perhaps he is delivering something other then paper that requires exiting the car frequently? It would nice to zoom in closer when he drives by :)
 
Someone suggested that it might be package thieves leaving the doors open so they can jump out and grab a package from a porch and then jump back in and take off. The only problem with that theory is that UPS and FedEx don't deliver packages that early in the morning out here. :)

I'll set the Huisun for a close-up view tonight and pan the 12x Dahua around for a better view too.

Now you have to solve the mystery. You can't leave us hanging Bear.
 
I still think it's the lazy paperboy, but I'll try to confirm it tonight. Guess I should set the Huisun to read his license plate. :)
 
He'll be wondering why his doors don't close well in a few months if he does that regularly.
 
I've confirmed that it's the paperboy and not someone opening the car doors because of someone farting in the car. Just a lazy paperboy opening the car doors to throw papers out instead of having to manually walk up to the house. :D

Ok, it's definitely the paperboy. He drove by again this morning, this time with the drivers side door open.

So you have to look for the paper in the snow ?
lucky here they put it in the mailbox

I don't take the paper here at my house. I read the news, flyers, etc. online. The paperboy puts the newspapers in plastic bags so they don't get wet and tries to throw them on porch's or sidewalk's but I think he misses sometimes. :)
