Thanx all for your input.

I live in the Northeast (Central New York) and it's getting rather  
cold here now. (and it gets hot in the summer too- especailly in a car.)

My friends in Boston (relatively same climate I would think..) leave  
ALL their tools in their car EVERY night all year 'round.

The evenings I *don't* bring in my gear- it sure is nice to just  
leave the house the next morning with my purse and to-go coffee.
