Charlotte NC passed a law that more or less states that you can not leave a
car running and not be in, or next to it. Too many were getting stolen as
people were warming them up and going back inside the house.
This was probably cars not started remotely,but started with a key and the
keys were then left in the car.


We have a similar law. I'm not sure if there are exceptions are
remote started cars have interlocks and the engine will die as soon as
you hit the brake pedal to shift into gear.

Recently though. a young father left his three year old in the car
when he ran into a store. Car was taken with the kid in it and he was
missing for hours. Father has since been arrested for endangerment.
