I'm buying a second car just to park at the park & ride. The Sentra I was looking at fell through. So I got a loan for 7k, hopefully I can find something nice that's not a target. I think anything low end like a civic, fit, versa, Mazda3 should fit the bill.

Civic's and mazda 3 (speed 3 engines a quick little bastards) could still be a "targeted vehicle". The most stolen cars in US are civic, camry, accord. The reason is since they are too many of them, the demand for parts is high as well. If you want to be totally worry free you need a ford ranger or a geo metro.
I had a "semi" nice Evolution back in the day and I used to drive to work/errands around town an old Chevy S-10 POS. It was red with a blue tailgate and had nothing but what came from factory. Not even the radio was upgraded and it had an anemic 4 cylinder engine.
I have a friend who owns a 911 Porsche but drives a Geo Metro to work and around town.

They took his wheels, but that is after breaking the windows and finding the lug key. I think this was more of a regular robbery that became more opportunistic when they found the key in the car.

If you carry your lug key around you, have a full set of lug locks on your rims, and have a security system in your car, then you did your part. If something still happens to your car after taking all your precautions, well that's what comprehensive insurance is for.
