If you go the baby monitor route, then also take a weapon along. If you do need to rush out to save your car, you better have some sort of backup.

You might go at least .40 caliber, more if you want to disable the flatbed. In the lovely state of Illinois you might get arrested until the cops check your FOID and decide you are OK. According to Illinois law (for you POCI attendees):
Can I keep a firearm in my hotel room when I travel?
Yes, assuming no local ordinance applies. The critical question is how the firearm was carried into the room and transported in a vehicle. Those actions must be done lawfully.

Ive gone to car shows out of town, here is some of the thing i have done.

Some hotels will allow your car to park under the front entrance.
Ask if they have security, Let security know where your car is parked.
Cable the wheels.
steering wheel lock.
Rent a Storage unit for the night,ive done this more then once, Cheap
did this once. park the car at the local police station.

IMHO...stay away from areas that are seedy..back the car in, stay in a hotel near the show that offers lighting, lock em' up, and make sure the insurance covers all scenarios

If someone i.e. thief, vandalism wants to f**k you, their going to no matter what
