Exhaust fumes may enter and that is not good.
Diesels are kept running while parked for various reasons. In cold weather, a diesel may be very difficult to start so it is better to leave it running. Maybe the engine is needed to run heat or A/C for the sleeper cab.
Usually when parked at a speed trap or when stationary.
i'd have to say the person who left the car running. if they didnt leave it running they could have prevented the thief from smashing it into your car.
Yes, as long as the engine is not in gear and a brake is enabled.A "Parked" car is defined as: a setting in an automatic transmission in which the transmission is in neutral and the brake is engaged. (http:/dictionary.reference.com/browse/park)Therefore it would suffice to say that a car is parked once the wheels are locked via some sort of brake and the engine is not in gear (park or neutral). The lights being on is irrelevant.Concerning California law: It is illegal to leave your vehicle unattended on the highway without first turning off the engine and enabling a brake.(http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d11/vc22515.htm)
Yes, it is illegal and unsafe to leave your children unattended in a car, especially with the engine running. It presents a risk for potential accidents or harm to the children, as well as the possibility of the car being stolen. It's always best to take your children with you when you exit the vehicle.

It all depends. Both you and the car that is double parked are responsible. when you do hit a car that is double parked, and the person is not at his/her car, make sure you leave a note saying that you hit his/her car. why leave a note? ITS AGAINST THE LAW TO LEAVE A CRIME SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, idling in park.
Leave it parked and don't drive it.

It is generally not illegal to leave your car running while you quickly run into a store, but it is discouraged for safety and environmental reasons. Leaving your car unattended with the engine running can make it an easy target for theft, and it also contributes to unnecessary air pollution. It is best to turn off your engine and take your keys with you whenever you leave your vehicle.
