    I wouldn’t risk using the animal as an excuse for a better parking/planning decision.

    No offense intended, just saying.

    I do shop at other places if there is a place to park the truck. Most other grocery stores tend to be in tight lots with anti-truck islands though. Walmart also has oil and other stuff I need for the truck—Winn-Dixie, Kroger, etc., do not.

    I also honor “No Trucks” signs at Walmart. If they don’t want trucks, they don’t want my money.

    Get an Arlo camera that has built-in 4G-LTE. Keep it on while you are in the store and you’ll know if anything is up.

    I take it they call a locksmith if they can't get in?
    So we have an hour for the tow truck.
    An hour for the animal control
    An hour for the locksmith.

    And then the driver shows up and hopes in and takes off. :)
