Yeah. I try to park under shade and in view from a window in the back. Then I try to sit where I can see my car, which isn’t always possible. But yes, I leave my car running with the cats in it while I eat. No other option when driving across Texas in July.
I would imagine that most who do this have a spare key or a keypad on their door. The few times I’ve “warmed” my car in my driveway before work, I start it, lock it, and use my spare to unlock it when I’m ready to leave.
Well shit, that sucks! I can lock mine with the key in the ignition only if I use the other key fob outside of the car with the doors already closed. Better than being able to lock keys in the car without a spare available though!

But do you leave the car when you leave it running?
