The security guard is employed on night watch, he does patrols of the service station and forecourt, is it his responsibility to watch over peoples cars? Well no, but I would have thought it were his responsibility to move people on that are loitering. The night manager was much more helpful, and sympathetic to the situation than the security guard.

Out of interest, does leaving the keys in the car whilst paying for petrol stuff up the insurance if it is stolen? Just want to know because i am sure very few of us here actually take the keys out when refuelling (myself included unless a dodgy person is lurking)!

Keys always stay with me, and if my phone is in the centre console, than it also comes with me. And if there is anything that can be reached in and taken quickly than I also lock my car when I go in to pay.

I'm sorry but why should the security be responsible for people stupidity? A petrol station isn't a secure place so why would you leave your keys in the car, lazy?
Maybe the security guard was on his lunch/coffee break?

Not having a go at you Cul.

I always take my keys, hide my phone and LOCK my car every single time I'm at a servo. Not worth the risk, regardless of how busy or quiet it is.

What do security guards do other than lunch/coffee breaks

No No I agree totally the security should not be responsible for peoples stupidity (including my own), but they should be responsible for keeping undesirable characters that are loitering at the service station away. I spoke to the assistant manager again today, who advised the character that jumped in my car and drove away was sitting there watching the forecourt for well over five minutes, and was likely to be there for only one thing...

Like most, I generally take my keys out of the car, it was a lapse of concentration more than laziness; I had finished a 13 hour day just a few hours prior, and was on my way back to work to do another 5 or 6 hours worth of paperwork.
