Car covers - make you more of a target?

[bermyandy]

Just wondering... you leave a car out on the street - is there more chance of gribbles vandalising it if its uncovered for all to see, or under a cover. If its covered, do you not run the risk of them having a peek to see what it is and then having a pop?

Or are they all just scum and will probably key your car regardless?

I could never be bothered with a car cover... you'll end up never using it!

Got one 6 months ago , and use it every night. Admittedly it's a pain in the arse .. takes 3-4 mins to put on including the locking wire .. You end up getting very familiar with the spot of ground outside your gaf!
If you THINK you'll grow tired of it , you most definitely will .. so save your money...
I'm not parked on the street front , but I do have passers by , and I reckon it saves the motor from the sort of opportunistic sh14 that you might normally be more prone to .. (Ah balls , I was told in school never finish a sentence in a preposition!)
