ICE leaves cars abandoned, lawn mowers running when it arrests workers: A new push to secure property (LA Times)
Cars with shattered windows have been left in streets and parking lots, lawn mowers left running on front lawns, and ice cream carts abandoned on sidewalks.

"lawn mowers running"? Bull. ****ing. Shit.

You can't buy a lawnmower that doesn't have a deadman switch.

Okay, but is it even remotely believable that people are being snatched up so fast that all these mowers are left running?

I use a screw to keep the safety button on my Skilsaw depressed.

Also on my electric chainsaw.
