Sounds good but they are not easy to dissuade. Not sure I'd want to untangle the sticky tape / paper / wipers when I got back.

Parking tickets and rain were not too much of a problem when we were in Las Palmas earlier this year.

Hope you have a brilliant crossing . . . perhaps you could post the occasional update here (well, in STB perhaps rather than the Handy Hints section . . . )

I don't know how people can stoop so low.

The Chevvy Captiva has excellent headroom in the rear, allowing a determined dumper room to squat without stooping so low. Get a coupe and you won't have this problem again.
