I had an uncle that would quite literally do that and throw the hitch(es) into the bed of the truck every single time he walked through a parking lot. If he had to do that to multiple trucks before getting to the store so be it.

    Good man.

    I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.

    Don't do that.

    Flashing tail light batteries last for many hours.

    Riders often leave them on just so you dont need to remember to turn them on again when you depart.

    Even if the battery did go flat, you're not stranded.

    I know you mean well but it might not be appreciated as much as you think.

    Hours is enough to empty them. If I see them parked in front of our house late in the evening, I don't think they're going to go out anymore today. It's far more likely that they forgot to turn them off than that they intentionally kept them on.

    Fortunately, they rarely flash, but burn continuously. I think the flashing ones are illegal here, and they can be super annoying.
