Correct. Anyone can drive away in a running 370 and they are fine until they stop the engine. BTW -- an amazing number of vehicles are stolen because people leave their friggin cars running while they "just run into the store for a water/pack of smokes/tall-boy bud/chore-boy pad, etc."

Maybe they like to keep the AC running? Maybe they want to save wear and tear on the starter? Who knows the reason, but it is not a good practice.
