Saw some of these on a guys Porsche at work. Tempting but they could get stolen I am guessing.

Put them on when you get out of the car and take them off before you leave.

Trying to find the ones I use to see in Germany years ago. It was a car cover with them built in just can't remember the name of them.

Park next to a car (far away) that is as nice as yours...or similiar.

When I drive my Jeep Wrangler I always park next to this guy/gal who just got a 2011 4-door tan (Supermarket) Jeep Wrangler.
Have yet seen anyone after shopping parked next to either vehicle.

In the VW GTI...I park as far as possible.

Or next to a nicely *tuned* Honda/Subaru WRX or other German car..........

My doors (2-doors) are too heavy and don't want to accidentally ding someone else's car.

This is how far I park at work.........see the CGM all the way in the back by herself? Yep that's how far.

The Darkness Technique for Super Market Parking Lots - Strewn with shopping carts market lots can be easily converted into a completely safe haven to park in. There are always stray carts EVERYWHERE. These are your golden tools to keep your car safe. The technique is simple. Park, acquire one or more shopping carts and use them to block off the spot(s) next to you. Be wary though, it is possible that they could be sent flying into your car. To alleviate this I recommend putting the wheels over the curb of the spot next to you. This secures them and makes it impossible to park next to you without moving the cart. People are way too lazy to move them. This technique can protect you from keying as well because people will assume some lazy person left carts in the spots near you rather than if you park like an a-hole.

Place shopping carts around your car? You're asking for someone to ram them into your car and laugh at how much you care... I'm all for looking for safe spots but thats a little over the top and rediculous

You need two cars when you own a Camaro. Drive an invisible tan Camry as a daily driver and take the Camaro out of the garage only for pleasure drives.
Stay with your Camaro at all times while it is in public.

Blade your picture made me laugh out loud. It's a great photo with a perfect perspective.

That is the exact place my wife or I park our cars.

At the grocery store I always park mine out by the employees ... I find that most of them will be there longer than I am and I never single myself out to idiots.
