Yes. Wapo article has comments turned off and this is the final sentence "Robinson urged motorists not to leave vehicles idling, despite cold weather at this time of year."   https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/01/05/child-baby-stolen-car-georgetown/

So will the person who left the baby alone in the idling car get charged with anything?  Child endangeerment?  Back in 2015 there were arrests when a couple left children in a car for a wine tasting https://wjla.com/amp/news/local/d-c-man-charged-with-leaving-toddlers-in-car-to-go-to-a-wine-tasting-appears-in-court-111564[/quote]

I love how the WaPo article said not to leave cars idling, but says NOTHING about not leaving children alone with the keys/ fobs inside an idling car. Most cars today have fobs that allow an engine to be turned on remotely for 10 +/- minutes. This woman didn’t remotely turn on the engine and keep the fob with her (yes the car could have been stolen if she was close enough but they wouldn’t have gotten very far without the fob, eventually engine automatically turns off either due to time or distance between car and fob). She left the fob IN THE CAR. Holy $hit. [/quote]
