Do you think public parking lots should have security?

Yes I feel they either should be checking constantly on the Lot to assure that all cars are safe. At the very least they should have surveillance cameras so that they can view any action and protect the cars. Yes especially at $15, that is not cheap parking.

If they are taking that kind of cash they should ensure there are no intrusions.These break inns have to be put an end to.When they charge a high amount they ought to continuous surveillance on the cars.They have to employ an armed security guard to deter these unscrupulous elements from breaking in.

I think the public parking lots should have security. After all, the crimes can happen anywhere. Especially when it is late and dark and no more people in the parking lots, it is a good chance for the criminals. Besides, some people may destroy the cars for fun or regard it as a prank. If there is security, at least this case will be less. I love China

Hi ersmommy1, I think it would be good for these public parking lots to have security for the safety of the customers and for their cars especially if you are paying to park there. Here Walmart stays open 24 hours and in the night hours they have security riding around checking for the safety of the customers. There have been a lot of mugging as well as cars being broken into.

Wow. $15 for parking? Definitely! If they charge that much for parking, they'd better take good care of the cars...

Of course, so that users feel safe. Although the cost.

Yes. I think they should have to provide security. People will start doing more ordering online and not leaving their homes if they are not going to be safe.

For me yes so that the terrorism would not get involve to it in our life.

Private parking lots really costs a lot compared to public ones. I do think that public parking lots should have security guards roaming around there but since these are public, it's like saying "park at your own risk". There are still car nappers out there so no car will be safe til these public parking lots are provided with security guards.

It does make a lot of sense for a parking lot to have security. I mean a building has security, because it has valuable things in it sometimes, that they do not want them to steal them. Why would you not want the same type of security for the parking lot? It might be a slight expense, but security is not something that should be taken lightly. It is a necessary expense for sure. Of course securing a parking lot is a different animal to securing a building many people would argue. And they do have a pretty good point to be certain. However, it does not mean that there should not be an attempt. There is some way to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity in the parking lot and then move over towards that area to investigate that. If nothing else, technology is great and cameras can allow people to monitor it from a post.

Is it not part of the contract, their looking after your car? When you pay for the place, safety of your property - in this case your car - should be presumed to be part of the bargain. Where is Ralph Nader?

Yes I believe we should have security personnel in our parking lots in addition to the attendants. By doing so we can reduce the break-ins. In the place where I come from security personnel are plying the huge parking area using bicycles remarkably putting the incidence to zero.

It would be ideal, but in bigger cities or in parking garages, it just doesn't always happen. Rule 1: never leave valuables (Expensive car stereo, cell phone, GPS) in sight and roll the windows up and lock the doors. Also, if it is a big problem, insist on better security before you park there. Either way I am sure the lot company is not liable for any damages/thefts, which is wrong at that price.

I think yes. Because usually car break-ins are something to do with the attendants.

Yes, i think if you have paid, especially in large enough quantities, $15, You are entitled to get the best services, Parking attendant should check the car that will come out with a thorough, Officer must check the letter of the number of vehicles, and parking cards. In my country, the cost for car parking, about $1 for 7 hours, with good security..
