Like to leave your car running to warm up?

Looking through the Dayton City Police website today, I was unsurprised to learn here that over 20% of motor vehicles stolen in Dayton are stolen with the keys in the ignition.

If you *must* warm up your car, have a second set of keys so you can lock your car while it's warming up. . .

And of course it's resource-hungry. And I hear not that good for the car; better to warm the exhaust system up more quickly through actually driving.
