(Undated) — As some of the coldest weather in years takes aim at the Midwest, you are reminded that the temptation to warm your car unattended can have serious consequences. Authorities say unless you have a remote car starter, warming up your vehicle unattended could be a bad idea. They remind the public that most criminals are looking for easy targets, and with colder weather now here, your running unattended vehicle could be that easy target. The authorities advise you to lock your doors and have a spare key nearby, or invest in a remote start system.
