Is it safe to leave a car in a highway rest stop for about 3 days?

We are planning to car pool with friends on a trip and then want to pick up our car to drive home. Will the car be safe at a rest stop off of Rt. 95 in Maryland for about 3 days?



No. If it doesn't get stolen or vandalised the police regurally patrol rest stops looking for abandoned/suspicious cars. It will most likely get ticketed and towed to an impound yard after 48 hours.




Assuming you are leaving it in a well-lit nice-ish place... people probably won't do anything to it.





However, The police may be called to ticket it and/or mark it as abandoned. Typically, if the owner doesn't show up within 24 hours, they can have it towed away at the owner's expense.




If you have to ask then you already feelin a "No" in your own mind. My advice...GO with that feelin'! Besides, regardless to what we say you'll be worried about the vehicle the whole time you gone. Park the car somewhere safe and enjoy your getaway!





Don't do it!




Not a good idea if you want to have the car still be in one piece when you return.




It'll probably get towed. Why don't you just find a parking lot near an airport where you can leave your car?




good luck with leaving your car in maryland for any period of time





of course not




No way someone will either steal or trash it.


I;d find some place else to park it,
