Gota love Canada. where potential victims are charged instead of going after thieves because it's easier.

if an officer walked onto my property and starting testing my door handles. I'd be pressing charges for trespassing and attempted car theft.

if you're driving in the winter. you should always have enough clothes in the car to stay warm. what if your car dies on the side of the road somewhere?

I'd rather not sit in a crowded room in the middle of cold and flu season. Running the car may not be the most efficient way to keep warm, but the energy used isn't going to waste either.

Or I could do as you suggest and huddle up in the trunk under an emergency blanket. Yes. That'll work.

The car was parked along the side of the house, small city street, not personal property.

Maybe you should just stay home... it's safer that way.

Maybe sequester yourself in your "man-cage" with lots of beer, pizza delivery on speed dial, the bootleggers/taxi company on call for more beer, the Cannucks schedule and replacement batteries for the LCD 3D HD TV remote? :thumbsup:

Ok, I'll do that, where even more emissions are produced keeping the place warm ;)

Switch to electric heat at home - no emissions from hydroelectric.

a wood burning stove is carbon neutral as well ;)

I think the "emissions" he had in mind involved consumption of lentels, warm swelling feelings in the lower torso and much blaming of the dog for the resulting pleasurable effect. ( at least pleasurable to the male of the species...homo sapiens )

I think your spy drones have been looking through the wrong window :rolleyes:
