Refreshing apologies; why were keys left in machine?

It was refreshing to see such a candid apology in last week’s paper by three guys

Dear Editor,

It was refreshing to see such a candid apology in last week’s paper by three guys who went for a late night joy ride on a road packer machine.

The description of how this episode played out begs the question, who leaves the keys in a piece of heavy equipment parked in an accessible spot. If the culprits had been some kids, one of them might have ended up becoming a pancake.

As things turned out, the only damage done was to the sleep of local residents treated to the sound of a packing machine clattering down Lakeshore Drive in the middle of the night.
