Agree wholeheartedly. Even worse, if your gun is really tucked away it might be weeks before you even know it's missing.
It probably won't be a pleasant experience if your gun is found at a crime scene and you traipse into the police station a few days later to report it stolen.
But more on topic - No, your polymer framed firearm will not melt if you leave it in th vehicle.
