Anyway, I can't see that happening to him because when he is ready to get out of the car at night everything is checked. He would never miss an open window. I am not quite as meticulous about my car as he is, but I too check my windows before leaving the car as well as checking to make sure it is locked, etc. so it wouldn't have happened to me either. I can't speak for my husband but if this ever did happen to me I would never mention it to my friend. I would feel it was my responsibility to check and therefore my fault and let it go at that. I wouldn't want to jeopardize a friendship over it. "Things" are always easier to repair than relationships.
Your husband sounds like mine on the rules of the car. People even have to sit in it a certan way.

In most cases we always watch what people do with this car, but in this case our friend has been with us from the start with this car. The powercoating, the new motor, the custom leather, paint, gauges, turbo etc etc etc etc, so we would think that he knew better, he's got all the other rules down.

I didn't think mentioning it was wrong to do as long as it's done right and light hearted, as we did. It would have been different if we had given him H#$L about it and I could see him getting mad. But we did it all in a somewhat joking manner, they way we always talk to him. So I don't belive we were wrong for saying something, you should be able to tell "friends" things like that. Who whats a friend that you have to tip toe around.

But yes we should have checked, I said that from the start.
