Good one, Jamo!
With the trips I've made and the rallies I've run, I have parked my Cobra at lots of motels and hotels. I pick motels where I can park right in front of my room. I have an alarm with a very loud siren and a pager. I put the car cover on it and try not to worry.
In a hotel lot, I look for the attendent and give him a tip to keep an eye on the car.
I have only had two unusual occurances over the years. In Roswell, NM, last February, on the way to Texas Cobra Club meet, we came out in the morning to find two inches of snow on the car cover. What a mess to pack up!
At the Palace Station Hotel in Las Vegas, after a Starlite Rally, I parked on the roof of the parking garage next to the hotel. I got a room overlooking the parking garage. In the middle of the night, the wind started blowing really hard. I looked out the window to see the parking attendant struggling to pull the cover back over the car after it had blown off (even though it had a bungee cord across under the car). Best $10 bucks I've ever spent!
