Not exactly buddy. It's a misconception we have here about the westerners. This was an accident just waiting to happen. I saw a number of vehicles with kids inside and engine running when I was in Canada. Specially in the winter, many drivers leave their cars running and go to pay for gas or to buy cigarattes from stores only so they can come back to a warm interior. There were many incidents of cars getting stolen from gas stations and the cops even ran a campaign urging motorists to switch off their engines and lock the car if they are leaving it unattended. I remember a case where a car had a small baby inside and it got stolen! In that case, the parents were lucky that they got their kid back. I feel North Americans are very naive.
