Wichita Police are warning vehicle owners not to leave them warming up unattended.

Lt. Scott Brunow with the Auto Theft Section says in the past week, 3 vehicles left running unattended have been stolen.  Police say you need to stay with your vehicle if you plan on warming it up, or consider getting a remote start system installed.

So far, 1900 vehicles have been stolen in Wichita this year.  That number is down 14% over the previous year, but Lt. Brunow says that number is still very high and they would like to see it decrease.
