you can try:
(defun save-buffers-kill-emacs-when-idle (tmout)
(interactive "nKill emacs when idle (seconds): ")
(setq save-buffers-kill-emacs-when-idle-timer
(run-with-idle-timer
n tmout t
(lambda ()
(save-buffers-kill-emacs t))))
this sets the variable `save-buffers-kill-emacs-when-idle-timer'
which you can use to cancel the timer later, should you find your
computer again after galaing.

Does this work?
(when (getenv "TMOUT")
(run-with-idle-timer (getenv "TMOUT") nil 'kill-emacs))

Gentlemen, at the gala festival I have left emacs running and
forgotten on a terminal that I can't even remember what room is in.
Well, if emacs had a timeout setting, like bash's TMOUT, then I
wouldn't need to worry that some perpetrator could molest my files.
TMOUT If set to a value greater than zero, the value is
interpreted as the number of seconds to wait for
input after issuing the primary prompt. Bash ter-
minates after waiting for that number of seconds if
input does not arrive.
