long term parking
I have never left a car at long term parking in an airport before.
How safe is it to leave a few bags in the car? and would it be silly to consider leaving valuables such as a laptop in the car?
thanks...

I never leave anything of value in a car. Our company recently had laptops stolen in LA when somone watched them put the bags in the trunk before they entered the building to visit a client. One broken side window and they popped the trunk.

I have never had a problem leaving items in my car at the airport, but you should probably consider a few factors before making your decision:
How long will your trip be?
How well lit is the area?
Are there security cameras to scare off thieves?

), but regardless of whether anyone sees you put things in your trunk or not, there are people who make a habit of breaking into car trunks....
