Stolen Car?

The other week a woman came into the library frantically saying her car was stolen. We called the sheriff's office and sure enough her car was not in the parking lot. Curiously though, there was a car that looked exactly like hers, make and model, parked right next to where she was parked.

It turns out that another woman mistakenly drove home in the wrong car. The cars were so similar and parked next to each other that there was a mistake. Apparently many identical models of Saturn cars can open with the same key. (Scary thought.)

So as this woman was at our library all upset thinking her car was stolen another woman came back to the library all flustered because she had driven home in the wrong car. The cars were switched and there was no charges or anything pressed.

My question is: how could you have driven so far in the wrong car and not have noticed? Sure, the cars may have looked alike but seats are pushed at different levels, items are hanging from the rear view mirror, things are in backseats, the radio would be at different stations etc. I'm glad the woman eventually noticed that she was driving in the wrong car or she might find herself driving her new car and suddenly be pulled over.
