Why is it that highway patrol officers leave their motor vehicles running while on break at a food shop?

Who in their right mind is going to steal a police car?!?!

@hungryguy this idiot
I guess they leave the car running in case they have an emergency and have to run fast out of the donut or coffee shop.

@HungryGuy, you have a point. Unfortunately, how much of out general population could be considered to be in their right mind?
@chyna illustrates my point nicely with her video. Little mister qualifies, I think, as not being in his right mind (though I enjoyed the fancy footwork). The final piece of brilliance of trying to left on the left of a vehicle turning left elevates him to f***ing idiot. Mere, plain old, basic idiocy could not accomplish all this.

Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Sounds like a total lack of concern for the city budget to me. Complain.

@chyna – Awesome video! He’s going to jail for a l-o-o-o-o-ng time!

In my department, we have orders that your vehicle cannot be left unattended and running. Actually, its a state law.

But, all departments are not the same or have the same orders.

We use to do this because of maybe a pending call, a K-9 Offficer for the health of his dog, inclimate weather, or to keep the cars computers in a cool atmosphere.

We do not do these anymore, except K-9 cars.

@whitecarnations Great question. I’ve seen that and wondered. @chyna Absolutely great video. @john65pennington Great actual answer.
