ha... that would be something to see! I think my car has somewhere around 7000 of them in it...
But yeah, as far as I know, the whole lithium battery burning down buildings thing mainly comes from lithium polymer batteries... and generally people either using the wrong kind of charger, or charging damaged batteries. I don't think too many people worry about charging their cell phones unattended, and I don't think there's any realistic risk from something like a cordless drill battery.
