00:00Two things are true in life no matter how much I'd like them not to be. My apartment will always
00:04be too small and my car will always be used as storage.
00:08Clothes, sports equipment, snacks and trash, these are things we casually leave in the car on a regular basis.
00:14But some things are more likely to cause serious trouble if left behind, so here are some things you really
00:19gotta take with you always.
00:21Prescription medication. According to Medline Plus, pills and capsules are easily damaged by heat and moisture.
00:27If you think your medication was exposed to the elements for too long, call your pharmacy or health plans for
00:32possible replacements. Better safe than sorry.
00:35Perishable food and groceries? Well, yeah, nobody wants to leave food in the car, but according to Money Talks News,
00:41groceries should not be placed in the trunk on hot weather days since bacteria can multiply quickly at high temperatures.
00:47It's safer to put food in the air-conditioned passenger compartment.
00:51But most importantly, more than aerosol cans, wooden musical instruments, cell phones and sunscreen, which are all things we should
00:58take with us, never leave your pets in the car.
01:01Leaving a pet alone in a parked car can endanger the animal's health, as they can suffer brain damage from
01:07heat exposure or even die from heat stroke in as little as 15 minutes in extreme weather.
01:13As convenient as it may be, perhaps the car is not the best place for storage after all.
