Actually no problem, most is battery will go dead if it is not in good condition. Other than that no problem, start and let the oil lubricate first means circulate a while before driving.
Not sure why your mivec had problem.....

Disconnect the battery and go. Or just have someone start the car once a week

Do what has been suggested by the bros at ZTH.
For insurance, chain the car to a concrete column.

Anyway, back to the topic, there is nothing to worry about if the car isnt driven for a long time. Just disconnect battery (or start and idle the car once or twice a week). Or utilize a batt charger.

To avoid tyre buldging (due to flatspot), inflate all tyres of higher air pressure. if the car isnt being driven for a very long time, have the car on jackstand.

Only one to two weeks, so is short time only. I was told idling is not good because the engine does not reach optimum running temperature and water vapor can be formed. Best is to drive out a while, this way can charge the battery too, but since is one to two week only, then no need , just come back and use the car.....
