This is a borrowed car the o.p. is asking about. I seriously doubt she

Can't read the manual, even? Give me a break...

It didn't say for how long of a loan; I inferred more than for just an
afternoon or it wouldn't have been an issue worth raising; would've
already returned it.

If asked, it's a problem; why not do what can to solve it?

And again, there can be very good reasons to have left the keys
in...while not the usual instance, on the farm I rarely take the keys
out of anything, ever. OTOH, if I go to the store in town I do take
them. I'd be exceedingly upset if I went out to the tractor the next
morning and it had locked itself up on me, or one of the trucks...

Like real estate, "context!, context!" matters.
