Do you leave the iPod plugged in after you turn off the car?

Actually mine does not turn off. I have an Ipod nano. (not the newest wide one, but the one before the newest one. mine is the tall skinny one.) Anyway, I've noticed on many occasions that if I leave it plugged in at night and come back in the morning, the Ipod will still be on and the battery will be like 1/4 empty. Also the following has happened as well. I come to a stop, turn the car off... disconnect the ipod without touching any of the buttons. the ipod will stay on forever, unless you un-pause it and then pause it again. Then the ipod will turn off after like 30 seconds.
I'm not sure if i'm the only one whos is having this problem. I posted on g35 driver and it seemed like no one else was having the problem or maybe no one is noticing it since they just get in the car and drive away. I would suggest some of you test this out.

I know my IPod doesn't turn off for a couple minutes when my car goes off. There is a setting in the IPod for how long to wait until it goes into sleep mode. You might want to check this because you might be able to disable the timeout so it won't turn off and that might have happened. Not sure if that is an option since I haven't messed with this setting. I would check that though.

You know this has happened to me once. Well, the only time I actually checked anyways. The Ipod is always fully charged before everytime I take it out to put more songs in. Then one time as I was bringing it into work from the car, it was dead. Happened twice.

I have the newest Gen IPOD Classic 80GB, and I leave it in my car all the time. On one occasion I had issues where the car couldn't detect it (like the cable was unplugged) but after a few minutes it was detected (as if maybe the battery was dead initially?)
Anyhow I read that the IPODs aren't powering down all the time and am a little worried about that.
I know there is a voice command (at least on my Aug Build G37 with the expanded voice command set) "IPOD off" but I am not sure it really cuts the IPOD off.
It seems like if you change sources to Sat or CD or Radio that it puts the IPOD on pause. I would assume that if the IPOD is on pause long enough that it will turn off. If not we should bitch at apple about a fix.

FYI, the ipod doesn't charge when the car is off, so if your like me, work 8-5 not using the car, drive 30 min home from work, turn around and go to the gym, your Ipod has no charge.
