my advice, keep any electronics you may have hidden. Dont advertise that you have any expensive or valuable stereo equipment that someone might want. Common sense really. Otherwise i dont think anyone has a reason to bother an old 5th gen

Just keep it clean, and try to park it in places that you think are safer.

When you get to know people, see if there are fellow car guys. If you all park in relatively the same parking spot everyday, ask to park near them so no one dings each others cars.

In the parking garage at work, I have that deal worked out with 2 guys who drive BMWs lol

They park extra close to my passenger door because they know I won't open it and I know they won't hit my car. It's win win

In college the Akron police department would park around (and in) one of our garages. So I'd always be parked between 4 or 5 cop cars, and cops were always walking around getting in and out of there cars, so I figured I was pretty safe!

Summit County Court was right down the street, too, so sheriffs and cops from other cities were always driving by.
