Mnemonic

Your car is in this storage warehouse, just sitting there. A 子 (こ) notices this, and decides to take your car on a joyride. You won't notice, right? You never drive it.

Hints

Imagine a kid sneaking into your canopy to steal your car that's in storage. Maybe it's two 子s, one stacked on the other with a trench coat. One 子 works the pedals while the other 子 works the steering.
