Wow, that's fucked up and sorry to hear about your misfortune. I sometimes leave the car running if I forget something in the house. I empathize with you. Hopefully your car gets recovered and with no damage. I hope it's some knucklehead kid taking it for joy ride and dumping the car somewhere. Keep us posted.
And NBP04TL3ME my DRL don't turn on until I release the hand brake.

Good point by you but with most TLs being automatic, going to guess not many drivers are using their e-brakes. You have however, pointed out an option for them.

The 4G TL key sensors do not allow the vehicle to be locked with the fob outside the car while it is running...additionally, the trunk will not stay shut with the fob inside (Keeps your wife from locking the keys inside the fucking trunk, I know this because mine tried).

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the DRL's don't go off by pulling the e-brake. Would love it if you could get them to shut off when parked.

turn on your car and the DRL's should be off until you touch the parking brake.
this was an old school trick that I employed on some of my other vehicles.

Taken out of context that sounds much worse than it is.
Critical thinking would give OP the benefit of the doubt which to me showed him starting up his car in his driveway, realizing he forgot his wallet or sunglasses, car already on, you are literally a minutes away from grabbing your wallet, leave the car running, run inside the garage door, into your bedroom grab your wallet, back down the stairs 50 seconds later out the door and car is gone.
I myself would leave the car on as Id think turning it off then back on is a waste of my ignition coil. LOL Id pull the same thing in my neighborhood.

Common sense indicates you never make it too easy for someone to take your things.
MOST areas have a do not leave your car running unattended laws. TO TRY AND KEEP PEOPLE FROM STEALING YOUR CAR. Hello? common sense anyone?
