Penny Wise!: The old school cigarette lighter in cars has been replaced with a 12V Accessory Power socket to help charge our devices on the road. But the danger of losing items (like a penny) in them hasn't changed.

Finders Keepers: When it comes to using a shared vehicle, we understand that members may occasionally leave some important items behind. That's when we put our detective hats on.
