Where Is The Safest Place To Park Your Vette While In A Public Parking Lot

I only park where I can see the car when I sit down for coffee, and when at Wal-mart the service department has a space for me and they watch it. Most places I frequent know me and my car and I usually get the best places. No double space parking for me. I am very courteous to others and am very careful about opening doors.
But I'm in a fairly small town and most people know me as "Sarge" or "Rick" and I'm always armed.

Find a video camera and park in line with it. Park at the end of the parking spot line ups and try to have it where the car that parks next to you parks with the passenger door tword your car.
But then again my car was just "customized" by some a$$hat in a hotel parking lot, so what do I know...

I usually try to park next to a curb so that covers at least one side but I try not to draw attention to my car by parking way out. But then again you are lucky to get a parking space close up at walmart and you just take whatever you can get at school so I dont even worry about it.

I always park as far away as possible and take up two spots. Once while on a road trip to Baltimore I recieved a note on my windshield that said "Nice car but you park like a Deuche Bag". I just laughed and thew the note on the ground and drove away smiling.....

I think maybe juvenile jealousy might be at work there... like the ^#*^!@*$# that keyed Razzputin's ride.

I usually park away from everyone else and always on an end spot if I can find one. And I pull as far over in the space as I can to leave room for the car next to me to open their doors without the chance of hitting mine (provided the park properly in their space). I never take up two spaces - just invites trouble IMO.
