CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It's cold outside, and that means many people want to warm up their cars before heading out the door for the day.Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police told Channel 9 they are cracking down on drivers who heat up their cars and then go back inside.The ordinance allowing officers to do so has been around for years, but they are cracking down now because thieves are targeting cars that are heating up and then using those cars in other crimes.If police catch you warming up your car without being in it, they can write you a ticket.
