I would only park in large numbers with other nice cars at a scheduled event such as a SAAC convention or a local event like CH1. Otherwise, I don't see myself leaving my car anywhere unattended for any length of time.

I've only had my car for a short period of time, but in that short period, there have been a couple of instances when I've parked my car for a lunch or whatever, with the car in plain view, and "issues" arose where I had to walk out and tame the "wild beasts."

Some have written above that these cars are replaceable, and that they'll keep making them, but they must not have achieved the same level of emotional attachment that I have with my Cobra. With all the possibilities and vagarities of our lawmakers in CA, who really knows if these cars will be replaceable in the future. I've waited a long time to get one, and it's "just right."

However, I think there is one situation where I might feel comfortable. That situation is as follows: I might leave it for an extended stay if my car were parked next to Patrick's, since I would hope that the would-be thief might think a Cobra with two roll bars is worth more than a Cobra with one.

And the thief would be correct. But then the thief, as clever as he is, would note the heavy gauge cable lock running through my wheels. Then the thief would note that there was no steering wheel on my car (thanks to the quick release hub on the Moto Lita). Only then would the thief gaze on the lovely Kirkham, and the rest, as they say, would be history....

Once they gaze at the "cheap chrome paint job" on my car, they would once again cast their eyes back to yours. Cable or not. Steering wheel? Who needs them.

Just checking to make sure you're monitoring all the threads.

Yes, but the threads have been exceedingly dull of late.
