In recent Winters, there have been fatalities caused by people leaving cars running in attached garages.
Either somebody started the car, intending to leave, then forgot they had it running, or somebody coming home late at night, and forgot to shut the car off.
Truth can be stranger than fiction. I remember one plant I worked at in Toronto. Not cold weather, but I recall getting to work one day, and seeing one of the guys in another department had left a car running, with the keys locked in it. Seemed weird, so I let in-house security know.
When I went outside at lunch, this Oldsmobile was still running. I went back in, and tracked down Frank myself - turns out Security had contacted him, but he thought somebody was pulling his leg ! Crazy thing was, the guy was cold sober !
Hard to believe, but somebody can forget that a car is running, even inside a residential garage.
