Closing the Door

The old saying about closing the barn door after the horse is out really applies to today's post. A 14 month old girl in Oregon opened her father's eBay app on his smartphone and successfully bid on a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite. The parents knew nothing about it until they received an email congratulating them for their winning bid ($225). At first the couple didn't know if they could afford to take on the car which needs a lot of work but they decided there was no hurry to complete the work as they would be giving it to their daughter for either her 16th birthday or graduation. They were glad she hadn't clicked on the $38,000 Porsche they had been looking at and decided it was time to add security codes and locks on their phones.
