You can the get out and lock the car with the key fob so no scum can jump in and drive off. If they did they wouldn't be able to start it again and you can tell the insurers that you have both keys and the car disappeared in the middle of the night without your knowledge!
Wouldn't try this in a dodgy area however
I dont do that as when the car is first started it revs 200rpm more than after the initial warm up period. Shut down in that short time then excess denzil will wash down past the bores.
