I just want to clarify something. The WRAL TV video shows an attendant who said she was alone, or he thought she was alone in the car.
However, WTVD TV also reported from the station today and specifically stated that the manager said they could not tell whether anyone was in the car due to the camera's vantage point. Since the pump equipment was between her car and the store itself, I tend to believe the WTVD report that it's unknown whether anyone was in the car. I don't think the attendant had a clear view of all parts of the car since it was behind the pump.
Good point! Thanks so much for the clarification. I really appreciate your post! I was not aware of that, and it could turn out to be very important...
