Default Landout at Class C or D tower-controlled airport?

Come on, guys! Land in the airport auto parking lot? You got to be kidding? They expect you to land on the runways and taxiways or maybe even on the ramp. If you land in the auto parking lot it will surely be reported as an aircraft accident with all that that implies, crash crew, security, etc.
I remember a guy that got low near George AFB, in the Mohave Desert. He figured that landing on the runway or ramp would cause a big disruption, so he landed on a road instead. Problem was, it was the road to the Bomb Dump! He was met by Security Police and they figured they had a apprehended a saboteur!
Land where your are expected to land, at least you’ll be greeted by fellow aviators!
