Come winter time, whether we're dreading facing the inevitable cold that will greet us once we leave the heated comfort of the driver's seat, or we want to get a head start on heating up our car before we hop in to leave, we're all guilty of hanging in our driveways.

This is precisely what Taylor Trupiano of Roseville, Michigan was doing – leaving his car running with the heat on while stepping inside the house.

But this little act of preheating landed Turpiano with a $128 parking ticket – in his own driveway.

Trupiano told CBS Detroit that he was running inside his girlfriend's house to drop off diapers and left the car running.
