Mine does, and it nearly cost me my Winchester Model 12, so please read and heed:
Just returned from a 2400-mile business trip from New York to Iowa and back, bringing along an unloaded and cased shotgun locked in the trunk of my car. If time permitted, I planned on shooting some clay birds at a range just outside Des Moines. ( It didn't.)
To avoid raising eyebrows by carrying a shotgun case through the lobby of the motels at which I stayed, I thought it best to leave the gun locked in the trunk of my car. So perhaps you can imagine my surprise when I walked out to my car one morning only to find that the trunk was wide open and---as I later deduced by the dew on the inside of the trunk lid---had been all night! Cripes, did somebody break into my car and grab my Model 12?
Imagine my relief when I found it safely stowed exactly where I had left it in the back of my trunk. Apparently, in my haste that previous evening, I carelessly tossed my car keys in with the other flotsam and jetsam in my travel bag, which depressed the button of my remote trunk opener, causing my trunk to pop open from the comfort of my second-floor room at the Holiday Inn Express. Miraculously, nobody touched a thing!
It is said that a wise man learns from his mistakes, but a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others. So learn from my mistake, and be careful with your keyless entry!
