How safe would you rate your car? Where is it kept? Can you see it from your living room or bedroom?

Mine is mostly kept on the drive...right outside the front door...it is also parked directly under my bedroom window (pic is taken from my bedroom)...if I go away for a few days it then gets kept in the garage...I would say its quite safe...

Heres a pic of the drive which its normally on...its not parked on the drive at the moment as were having a new bathroom fitted so the drives full of shite...



And another one of the car...

My driveway is very tight, risk kurbing wheels getting up the side and rubbing the hedge - really need to cut it back.

Usually leave it in the street, can see it from the front window.

Mine is normally kept outside my garage as my dad and bro use the garage, although it has 3 cctv camera's on it. Its pretty safe.

Driveway if dad managed to park in the layby with the van, if not, I'm in the layby. Bedroom is out the front, so I can see everything, have a quick check before I lay down quite safe I suppose, then again mine doesn't have any reason to attract attention, especially as it's a 12v.

if its in shot of the window get yourself a security cam that goes into your PC. Atleast that way if anything does happen you'll see who it is and can get something done about it

Mines kept in the drive (has CCTV on it) but goes in the garage if Im away for a while.

Only trouble is I can't sleep with my PC on (as it's in my room) - it's really annoying, 10 silent fans actually make it quite loud!

Always in the garage, never left out at night. Keys locked up safely indoors too to avoid being machine gunned at 3am

always in the garage now, but sometimes i have to move 2 cars to get it in/out used to leave it on the drive until some1 broke into it :/
not risking it anymore, even if they dnt break in, they can scratch it or whatever...
had my beesting aerial stolen from my drive, a boyracer kid i sort of know got out his g/f car into my drive, sum1 disturbed him and he climed over the back gate into the garden, jumped over the garden fence into the opposite garden and back to his g/f car which sped off, i was wondering wtf was going on
