What BS, you will be fine.... more.
If you really want to, give the guy $5 and ask that you get to keep the keys and park your own car. This way the car remains locked, and is parked carefully. As you park make sure to put it next to a Porsche.
I think I have only heard 1 instance of a car getting stolen from a garage in NYC.

It's not the fear of theft that bothers me about driving around manhattan, it's the roads that are
utter crap. I'll beat the hell out of a rental car's susupension (which will undoubtedly be softer than anything on a car I own).

Agree, but roads leading to Manhattan from the West are OK... drive it in, park it, and forget it.
If you want to drive in Manhattan - Ford Escape is quite cool. Fastest car in 1/4 mile too, everyone else starts hitting brakes before the bumps. ;-) (Thank you Hertz)

Agreed, I just recently took my car thru downtown manhattan, and sheared off a swaybar mount bolt...
Those roads are not a place to take a lowered, stiffly sprung car, and John has a Stasis setup IIRC.
Bent wheels are another pleasant side effect of manhattan.
