Park next to more expensive cars. :P

Seriously though, hasn't happened to me yet. But maybe we frequent different parts of town...

Yeah, technically you should be using thread locker (Loc-Tite; don't know which grade, red or blue). :P

Seriously though, what's stopping the same a-holes from keying your car? It happens--but you can't sit there and watch it 24 hours a day.

One somewhat-practical idea is take your antenna off and lock it in your glovebox (or take it with you :)... "Hey is that an S2000 antenna in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?") when you park the car somewhere where you think this kind of thing is likely to happen.

Better idea: radio reception sucks anyway; listen to CDs/MP3s/etc. and leave the antenna off. 8)
