Puffers - $75 fine !

I have seriously considered remote start for both my truck and my DWs SUV, until.......

I just heard on the news the other day that one of our neighboring Cities has a LAW against warming up your car unattended. They call it puffers. They wrote over 100 tickets a week ago at $75 a pop. At first I thought it was pollution they were worried about - but the explanation is CRIME! The city spokesman says it promotes auto theft and those vehicles typically are involved in greater crimes.

HOLY BUCKETS - do I live in a nanny state or what? I suppose I need to spray some primer on my truck and break a few windows before parking in that town or my shiney Ford will be way to tempting for somebody to steal and it will be MY FAULT!! .

Anybody else out there in the sane part of the world heard of such a thing?? Do I live in a closet?
