I know the meeting has already passed but there is always another one. I
think Apple car park is the one where my car was broken into about 8-9
months ago. The staff there did not seem surprised at all. I think the
problem is that this car park is very quiet giving thieves pleanty of time
to do whatever they like.
Since then I have either parked in the outside car park in the same street
as Her Majesty's (up the road from House of whatever it is) or more
recently in the Broadway building that Mamma's is in. At least these have
plenty of passing foot traffic.

Considering that my car got done over in broad daylight while I was at UTS
the other day, I wouldn't recommend parking in the streets to _anyone_,
let alone after dark.

Depends how you define "pricey". {wry grin}. I woulda been happy to pay
$12 for parking to get out of paying $390 for a new side window in the
car...
There's a couple of car parks near tHer Mag's theatre - turn left off
broadway into the little street at the bus interchange {can't remember its
name - there's the Hotel on the corner}, then left again into the first
street. If you get in after 5, the parking station down there is $9.50.
Alternately, Secure Parking just down the road is $12 flat after 5:00 pm
entry. There's also Her Magesties car park, which is right on the corner
across the road from Secure Parking - not sure if they have an "after 5"
rate, but they do the best student deal if you happen to have a student
card {$10 all day}.
