You can shut the car off, but you can't re-start it or lock the doors.

What everybody seems to overlook is that what the OP did had nothing to do with CA. He got out of the car and didn't turn it off. He'd have done the same thing with the non-CA version except that the key would have been in the slot.

Doesn't anyone take responsibility for their own mistakes anymore? The OP screwed up, plain and simple.

Sheesh, even in driving 101 you learn to put the car in park (or neutral and pull handbrake,) turn off the engine, remove seatbelt, get out of car and lock it. This procedure applies to all cars CA or not.
