    You see a lot of people leave dogs inside their parked cars, and sometimes even children! We posted this info on our website and it's a good heads-up for anyone with pets or kids.

    My wife was at the park the other day and someone had left a toddler sleeping in the backseat of a car in 95F heat with only a front window open... she waited around about 5 minutes and the mother came back with another baby, put the baby seat into the front passenger seat and then drove off.

    It's amazing how hot it gets inside vehicles. I received a package from UPS yesterday, opened it up and my playstation was hot as hell.

    It's really sad when some idiot leaves their kid, or their pet in a car. Even with the windows rolled down it's not enough to keep them cool. People just never learn I guess. Just like those idiots that drive through huge pools of water and get caught in a small river...

    I saw that the other day, I was at Best Buy, and some yippee chihuahua was in the back seat, just barking. The window was cracked like 1mm, although the car had tinted windows, it probably was very hot in there, also had leather seats. When I was leaving, the owners came out at the same time, and probably thought I was doing something to irritate the dog, even though I was just leaving.
