For how long can you drive without the smart key?

Hi guys,
I always wondered. For how long will a person be able to drive the LS430 if the remote key is not in my pocket?
I thought of it by thinking, what would happen if you left your car running and went inside a 7-eleven for a few minutes, and a thief got in the car and drive away. I believe that the car should stop after a few miles. I'm not sure. Hopefully someone can answer that. I always leave my car running but lock it by using the manual key shaft in the remote. That's of course, if I wanted to leave the A/C running or some other reason.
Thanks.

How long are you in 7-11 that it would cool or warm up that much? Theoretically as long as fill with gas while running it will keep running. Ive driven home 3 miles without key because only had one set and wife needed her key for later. Dont see why it would strand you if say the car was not stolen.

It beeps to tell you key not detected. It didn't shut off in the 3 miles I drove home. Bad on me, but I have left it idling in the winters to warm up before I leave and it'll run for atleast 5 min so I doubt there would be turn off.

I asked the same question when I bought mine. The sales man said the car would run normal until it is shut off. So you won't get standed if for some reason you find yourself without a key.
