And leaving the car open to be stolen very easily.Â* There have been
civil cases where someone got killed or seriously hurt by a car
that was stolen while the owner carelessly left it running while
at the convenience store.Â* PRobably have been some where the keys were
left in it while it's in the driveway too.Â* How liable that makes
you for potential damages, IDK.Â* But leaving keys in the car,
when it's in the driveway isn't a good idea.


Most remote starters will allow you to exit the car and lock it.Â* If you
were to open it and try to drive away, engine dies.Â* They will not allow
you to start unless the doors are locked too.

Every winter cars are stolen by people that run out and start the car to
warm up while finishing their coffee.Â* In one town in one morning four
cars were stolen like that.Â* I know a guy that never took his keys out
of the car too.Â* Poor practice to say the least.


Those pre-warmers are pussies and deserve to have their rides stolen ;-)
