    If you left company equipment unattended in an unsecured area, empty, loaded or whatever was cause for immediate dismissal with most of the companies I have been leased to. Drivers did it, got away with it, doesn't make it a prudent move.

    Stopped in and talked with the manager this morning. She said there hasnt been an issue in the 12 years shes been there. Can leave my car in the car parking behind the shop or furthest row by restaurant. Like I mentioned in the original post, this Petro literally never fills up and has over 100 spots for cars.

    I'd like to thank the men who contributed to help a fellow driver with an increasingly difficult situation.

    To all the thieving yet holier than thou drama queens attacking a fellow driver like a bunch of sophomore schoolgirls, I feel sorry for you and will pray for each of you.

    Yep... another case of guy asks advice but doesn't like the advice that he gets so he effectively tells all the advice givers to f-off.

    We see it all the time on this forum.

    Well good luck with your parking situation.

    15 miles?

    Why risk leaving your vehicle in a public place when you can just call a family member, Uber, Lyft, or even an old school taxi to drive you 15 miles?

    I hate the smell of parking lot urine. But will keep your suggestion in my back pocket just in case.

    I can’t stand the guys who park at rest areas for home time. The one on 95 in Maryland just outside of DC is always full. If you aren’t in there by 11am you aren’t parking.

    He mentions the location is a Petro. I wonder how many reserved spaces they have that cost drivers $'s

    If you want one that is over the top abused, try the Vince Lombardi Service Plaza on the NJ Tpk. Probably 60% of the trucks there over the weekend or weeknight are unattended. They go through and tow a bunch every now and again, they come right back.
