As much as I'd love to throw a cover over the car when I get it...I work downtown at a criminal justice center...still waiting on my parking garage permit and from the looks of things, it'll be a long time to go yet before its given to me. You'd think that working at the hub, and with officers coming and going left and right it'd be safe enough...but you'd be surprised how many cars have been broken into on the lot, in the garage, and on the street.
If I cover that car up, its just begging for someone to take a closer look. Best I can do is have a state of the art alarm system ready for install on purchase, and park next to a squad car whenever possible
On the plus side...the contacts you make with said officers really do benefit you on the street...cough cough cough.
