Car rental

You rent a car, and tell them you'll be staying in New York. No going out of the state.
But then you realize you need to go to Philly for something, and to Baltimore (isn't it next door?), so in the car you get, and off you go...
When the time comes to give the car back, you go there, all confident and proud that you thought of putting all the miles on that car, and anyway they're only charging for instate rental... The guy prints out something from his computer, and calls you over. Didn't you rent the car for New York only? I did, you answer. And he shows you the sheet he's holding so carefully: a very detailled itinerary and schedule of your trips the past week....
When the time comes for us to return our neshamah to Hashem, we won't be able to hide anything from Him... He'll be able to show us a full "itinerary and schedule" of our life and we will have to give full cheshbon on all of it....
