I think you'd be surprised how many cars left running are stolen with the keys left in it
I personally witnessed an officer scolding someone for leaving their car running with the keys in it.
No matter how you slice it, Leaving a car unattended and running with the keys in it is a bad idea.

Um, a remote start isn't all that expensive. Mine has settings that allow you to leave the truck running for a few minutes for "turbo cool down" or indefinitely. Push the button on the remote, dash lights flash, take the key out, truck stays running, lock the truck. If someone =does= get in, they have to step on the brake to unlock the shifter. Without the key in and turned to RUN, it shuts right down.

That is exactly how my aftermarket remote start works, and spending the money on that makes much more sense to me than installing a generator that may or may not get used.

That is a much cheaper and simple way of solving the problem, so it is on topic.
