Yes, with restrictions (ex. in by 9am out by 6pm)

Most people feel less secure when with relatives. Everything is relative.

However, for the purpose of this discussion, I will say that there are
garages where you can expect to find your vehicle unmolested at the end of a
normal work day. For the purposes of this discussion, let's say 8am-6pm
(includes getting coffee etc).

I parked for three years at one garage near SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art) 200 plus days/year. In those three years, there were no incidents
of theft, hit & run damage, and/or vandalism perpetrated on my vehicle or
anyone else I know who parks there. Cost me $6.95 per day to park.

Watch for low ceilings if your Syncro has taller than stock springs. Mine
barely makes it.
