At my highschool we use the little hanging tags, and if you leave your window down, or you leave your car unlocked, it is likely to be gone pretty fast.

I snatched a blank one out of the office when no one was looking and made copies, because they are just printed on heavy stock paper, and made like 100 bucks selling them cheap.

The point is, any parking tag that designates you for a good space is very desirable (and in some cases, like my school, expensive (like $50 per semester)), and if you just leave it where anyone can ****** it, they will. And then some nice guy like me will come around selling fake tags for 5 bucks a piece lol.

How many security/parking guards are there? It might be easier to buy each of them a 12 pack and show them your permit. Make friends with them and they won't ticket you. Surely the company doesn't have real cops coming onto your lot to ticket "trespassers".

what the hell kind of high school do you go to?? Lol. You have to pay to drive?
Do you go to a private high school? My college has parking tags that hang in the mirror, but even those are free. That's crazy...

Hell, all the colleges I went to, they charged no less than $75 each semester for a parking sticker/tag.

Today, with the dollar all jacked up because the Feds overprint money, parking fees have gone well above $100 per semester!

Cut out a piece of posterboard into a shape you can hang on the rearview, and stick the sticker on that.

A very money hungry one, even though it's in a pretty wealthy area. I think the average income around here is in the mid 200Ks to the low 300Ks. And no, it's not private.

Laminate the sticker and attach a small suction cup(with a small hook). That way it goes in and out with ease and no sticky residue. It may just be hanging in the back window and not stuck to it, but damnit, it's there!!! I did this with my college parking sticker.

Attach it to the visor and flip it down for parking.
