NYC area safe parking?

Any suggestions as to safe parking in tristate area? We normally d/h to Lombardi, but depending on time of day space may not be available. Going to Petro in Bordentown over Statin Island is expensive. One bad experience at a park and ride on LI was enough. We are reluctant to park anywhere there overnight.

The rest area on Long Island get full quick. If you aren't there by late afternoon, you're probably out of luck

South of Lombardi in Secaucus there is a Walmart just off the turnpike. It is best to do a gps search ahead of time, because you can see the store from the highway, but it is a spaghetti mess to get to it. It isn't a 24 hour store, but there is parking in an outer lot that is shared with a convention center. In the past they even had porta-johns set up in the summertime.

I almost always head into CT from LI. Either hit the first plaza, or go a few miles more and stop in Bridgeport.

DD is right. Ppl tend to leave you alone in the industrial area of Jamaica... across from JFK. I only stay until I drop. No sense in pushing my luck.
