Colorado Springs Police Department reminds drivers of the dangers of puffing

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Colorado Springs Police Department wants to remind drivers that leaving a vehicle unattended while it's running makes it easy for thieves to break in and steal.

According to CSPD, puffing is "leaving your car running unattended to warm it up before driving."

Protect yourself from puffing by practicing the following:

• Prevent car theft from puffing by never leaving your car running unattended.
• Sit inside your car while it warms up or use a remote start system.
