Overnight Security for cars?

Hey Guys,
I cant be the only one driving in from out of town thats a bit concerned about leaving there car in a hugh parking lot at the hotels for vandels and thievies to have there way? I was thinking it wouldnt be all that expensive to hire a Security gaurd to watch the cars over night if all concerned chip in. Whats everyones thoughts?

Dude......we drive Sentras! The chances of your car getting broken into are actually gonna decrease because there are other fixed up cars around yours. Don't worry man.....there will be plenty of "Drunk Private Security" in the parking lots

Re: Overnight Security for cars?

yeah terry.. just park next to my tahoe.. theyll steal my rims before they break into your ride.... or ya'll could just pay me an hourly wage and ill patrol the parking lot with my AR-15 or several other weapons of choice....

but seriously, the thought crossed my mind too... would there be anyway to get some kind of security for the parking lot at night or does the hotel already have some???

I understand that we drive Sentras...Thats the point...Mine blue books at less than 2500. That doesnt cover the custom paint. If the car was blue booked at 25-30K I wouldnt care less...Thats what insurance is for. My car hardly ever sees a parking lot. Its in the garage or im driving it. If no one else cares enough about there ride thats fine. It is a concern of mine and I thought perhaps others...

Re: Overnight Security for cars?

that was in AL man. that place was like Green Acres. people were so polite there, they looked at me in amazement as i drove through traffic in the rental California style. you could probably leave your sh*t running with the door open in a liquor store parking lot and not get it stolen, sh*t.

but, your car will be fine. thieves dont try much on nissans here, too hard to break into compared to Hondas and not worth dick to them anyway.

Re: Overnight Security for cars?

its actually not the neighborhood anymore. there are too many rich kids stealing cars now too because mommy didnt love them or some sh*t.

but, i wouldnt worry anyway. we drive nissans. nissans are about 10x harder to steal than a Honda, and thieves wont hit up a hotel parking lot. too many people walking in and out to see. Mall parking lots are what is usually hit, as there are sections of the parking lot (or parking structure) where it is crowded enough that there are cars everywhere, but no one is walking about or paying attention.

Plus, if are all up like we were last year, with the rentals burning out, etc, then we wouldnt have to worry. LOL
