Yes I know that Club's are not 100% but it's the visual I'm going after - one more item the thief needs to deal with. As also stated, if a professional wants your car, he'll get it.

Have good insurance and sleep well.

You could also use AirBNB and stay with private party that has a garage. Not 100% safe but better than motel.

Don't stay at a dive. The better hotels usually have a better clientele and are of course in the better part of most towns or cities. After that it's just common sense. Don't leave any valuables in plain sight and lock the doors.

Stayed at the Hampton inn in Jacksonville on my way to Daytona this past month Came out the next morning to get back on the road, 3 spaces down was a new f-150 crew cab setting on blocks all 4 tires/wheels gone. The motel had a security guard on duty ��
