Teaching my dad a lesson
My dad lives with me and my wife and kids.
He leaves his keys on his dash. Today I went to warm his car up for him, and there was keys on the dash, painkillers and a roll of $20's in plain sight in the center console.
Steams me up because he's on my insurance plan.
I really want to go out there one night after he's asleep and move it a few blocks away, but I'm afraid what will happen if he calls the cops.
Any suggestions on what I can do to get him to stop being an idiot?

Plus its on my insurance, so when it happens, I get to foot the deductible.

This isn't like I have a couple acres and someone snooping around his car would be out of the ordinary. No, people walking past his car is like an every 20 minute thing.

You are obviously not in a position to handle having your father on your insurance. I am sure it was much better for him having a teenager added to his policy...
Grow the **** up, you are not teaching your father ANY lessons, and check the car as part of your routine. You said he can't even drive now, so how the hell is he going to leave pills and cash in the car? He will be gone on day, but you could have shown him a ****ing lesson.

I was never a teenager on his policy, he left when I was 14 or so and I didn't talk to him again until I was in my 20s.
He can't drive "now". He has a toe amputation. It'll be a few days and he'll be back in the saddle.

Can you remotely lock it somehow ?
Maybe have a talk and put a dish by the door he can drop those items into as soon as he walks in . That would maintain the zero effort thought process he likes and will have the security of knowing where they are . Start doing it for him ... he may make a couple trips back into the house but I suppose a new robotic routine will take hold . Older folk are about routine .

As it was said just pull the stuff out and lock the car any time you find it that way.
when he says anything about it just say your are making sure your insurance rates do not go up.
And you would appreciate him doing the same.
just like you would tell your kids, your house your rules
