If you leave them running while you are not in you car they may show evidence of vandalism or car park crashes too. It can be a great way of documenting a road trip too, with visions of the wonderful landscape as you drive along. They have often captured unexpected events, such as lightning strikes and yes, some of those unexpected events are simply due to the stupidity of others.
