LOL I can answer that for you.
And the story goes...
I was at a XMAS staff party which was being held at my old place of work in the actual building, many many many drinks later when everyone went home, and the owners had to lock up and leave, a co-worker and I found ourselves in a predicament. We had to work the next morning at 10, at the place in question... and didn't want to risk driving home or having to take a cab home (this was Northern Ontario, workplace was about a 30 min drive from my house). Anyways, my car was in a parking lot adjacent to the building... so we ended up saying, "lets sit in the car for a while..., if we pass out... we pass out. we'll leave it running for heat (-35 out)... and whatever, we'll go in tommorow at 10". Big mistake ! Cops showed up at around 4:30, to him passed out in the back seat, and myself passed out across both front seats. They knocked on the window and proceeded with asking their usual questions - ID ?? what were doing there ??, where we work ??, what we do at the place ?? etc. Anyways, I was honest with them and told them we were both shit faced and were waiting to go to work which was about 20 steps away from the vehicle. That didn't go over too well. If you are in a running vehicle with keys in reach, u can be charged with something. What is it ?.. is it DUI ? i'm not sure, I was never charged. But i was told to shut off my vehicle, they took the keys (only to give them back to me when, my ride showed up)...and made me call someone for a ride. Sitting in the back of a cruiser for 45 minutes isn't cool tho... and neither is having to take that 30 min cab ride in the morning back to your abandonned vehicle.
I remember him telling me I was lucky too, because it could have been much worst. So ???
I wouldn't risk it, unless like geroin said... hide your keys.
