And try to explain to child services why you left a baby in a running car. 
Well, I see your point. But the baby needs to learn at some point how to drive, and what better place to learn than in a community surrounded by water? Once he gets to the ferry, the guys on the boat will put him back in his car seat and call the mom. It's a self-regulating system.
Last week our town had six cars stolen in 2.5 hours. All were unlocked and running.
I never leave my cars out. I have garages. I handled insurance claims for a living. It is amazing what people leave in their cars. Never had a train loss.
I live in NW NJ and I always lock my car and house. Partially for criminals, partially for the local wild life. There is an extremely low crime rate in my area (around me, most intruders would be greeted with buckshot if they broke into a home). I could probably get away with leaving my car unlocked when I am out and about, but its the non-locals who I worry about. We have easy access to highways and the NJ/PA state line is under half and hour away so I always keep it locked.
On the topic of wildlife: A buddy of mine left his phone out on the front passenger seat and a bear thought it was something he could eat... Long story short he need a new passenger side door, a some bodywork, and a new phone
