BONEHEAD move of the week! HELP

Ok so last night I went out side to move the 8. I put it in its parking spot and decided to leave it running to get to operating temp before shutting off. Well this morning I got up and went outside and wondered why my window was open..........
I had left the car running all night and it ran out of gas and the key was left on.

Please let me know what I have to do prior to trying to restart. I know I need gas so please don't make me feel any worse. The window went up, so I think bat ok. Did I burn the fuel pump up leaving the key on and with no fuel pressure to turn it off?

Please let me know what to do. Besides not leave my car running all night.

Siphon the bitches gas!
I'm just saying!

DB had good input!
Sometimes that's a hard thing to realize and I'm sure most of us have been in a destructive relationship at one point or another.
