3. Unattended vehicles left running

The weather is quickly getting cold, and we understand that many people like to warm up their vehicles before they begin driving. However, a friendly reminder from the York City Police: Don't leave your vehicle running while you are away from it. In 2017 and 2018 a little less than 50% of all the vehicles stolen in York City were a result of cars that were either left running or with keys in the car.

It's an easy target for a thief, and you are likely in violation of the vehicle code:

§ 3701. Unattended motor vehicle.

(a) General rule.--No person driving or in charge of a motor vehicle shall permit the vehicle to stand unattended without placing the gear shift lever in a position which under the circumstances impedes the movement of the vehicle, stopping the engine, locking the ignition in vehicles so equipped, removing the key from the ignition and, when standing upon any grade, turning the front wheels to the curb or side of the highway and effectively setting the brake. (b) Penalty--Any person violating this section is guilty of a summary offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $5. -There are many "remote start" systems available that allow you to warm up your vehicle without being in violation of this section

because your key is not in the ignition. Also, it is often set to turn off the engine if someone tries to put the vehicle in gear without the key.
