“When I saw my truck door open, I was like, ‘oh my God, what am I going to tell my wife?’” said Cooksey.
That’s because Cooksey’s 9 year old son, Larry Larimore, was inside – with the engine running.

Something to think about, especially in cold weather. My wife sometimes stays in the car with the engine running while I run into a store. She usually locks the car while I am gone just in case, but not always. A nine year old should be old enough to lock the door until his/her dad gets back.
