It could happen but I have been using a cover while my car is at work for years and it has not be disturbed yet.

isn't that a mini just north of your mark on the map? Silver Roof, Silver Bonnett stripes? just park next to him.

I want a car cover to make my MINI look like an old rusted 1976 Ford Pinto

YO, in Philly, I'd be more worried about the drivers who park by braile. I live in "New Kensington" area and I had 2 gashes in back and 1 in front of a GP, from people bumping themselves into a parking. It is legal to "bumper car" your way into a parking in Philly. I think I know the truck that did the dent in the front, the neighborhood kids told me. Payback was I got a rental and bang there goes their fender...oops. I now park at the private school parking lot, with their permission of course, I like it cause cops nap or are on their cell phones their in the wee hours.
