[quote=Anonymous]My cousin's grandparents (not the grandparents we share) both died from carbon monoxide poisoning when they left the car running in the garage.  They were found the next day, one in bed and one on the floor of the bathroom.  The neighbors thought it was strange that their newspaper was still in front of their house and that they hadn't been seen going on their daily walk.  When they didn't answer their door, the neighbors called police and the police knocked open the door and entered the house.  It was so horrible for my uncle to lose both is parents so suddenly and unexpectedly.

You must, must get the carbon monoxide detectors and put them around the house.  We have two on each level of the house.  Then figure out a way that you can't have this happen again.  I agree with the posters that said a sign won't do it long term...too easy to ignore.  Something better is when you have to use your key to turn off the car and that same key ring to unlock the garage door.  Something like that.

Maybe there's a way that your car in park will automatically shut off after 10 minutes in "park"?  Maybe the dealer can put in some sort of feature like that?
