Default Leaving my plane in Chicago for a Week

My wife and I are planning to fly our plane to the Chicago Blues
Festival for four days in early June. Plan to then take a train to DC
or NYC for a week or so, then return to Chi and fly home. Since Meigs
is now gone (where I used to fly into), where would be the best place
to fly into and leave the plane for about 10 days, considering cost,
convenience and safety (i.e., not having my plane or avionics ripped
off) ? Any suggestions appreciated.

Midway is a very safe place (can't even get on the ramp without being
escorted) with easy access to the subway. There is a tiedown fee, but
I can't remember how much.

I would imagine you could get a good deal at Schaumburg (06C). It's
not that far away.
