Park as far away from others as you can. That might just attract more attention to your car though. And since you're in school you won't be able to avoid every *******. This is why I decided to get a new car after I graduated.

All tongue in cheek, but no good answers.

I found some people nearby and pay them to let me use their garage. Peace of mind is priceless- especially when sitting in classes

maybe try to park in lots that have security cameras or places where a lot of people pass by..? that way there is a bigger chance that if something happens to your car, people may witness who did it

Theres really not a way to keep it from getting vandalized by other people. Just try to park away from other people, or park in areas where they have cameras as stated above. There are always haters out there

In my experience, there is no such thing, where morals are involved...for all ages.

Actually bukg37 offers a good (and legitimate) suggestion...Spend some money on a beater and keep the G at home when you go to school...IF you are that worried about it and you think someone is targeting your car.

Obviously this is not the best idea if you don't have spare cash laying around or you really want to have the G at school, we all know how that goes!!

I had beaters in the 90's when I was in college and driving a mustang and you would be amazed how easy it is to find a parking spot when you could care less who opened a door into your car!!
