Glue it to the back of a piece of Perspex and write the date / time on the front with a board marker / pen.

Now here's a different question for the collective...
I would like to display a special parking permit on my Locost's windscreen - it's a sheet of stiff paper about 22cm x 10cm - but I need to
make sure it doesn't get stolen, as it will be in a public car park. If I could do this securely it would mean that my wife can use our tin-top
independently while I'm out (on dry days, of course!).
Such a thing would also be useful if we go out in the Locost and want to park in a pay-and-display.
Has anyone done this, or made up anything along these lines?

Bonded to the back of a sun visor would make sense to me? Assuming you have a sun visor?
For pay and display tickets I'd go for a tax disc holder, or make sure I used one where I pay by phone and not have to display a ticket at all.
Quite a few are doing it now.
Have a look on the internet for secure disabled badge holders.
I have seen in central London HD plastic binders that when combined with a bike lock around the steering wheels are inaccessible and can not be
removed.
Because thieving a-holes live in London, they are hot property. Even if it does take away the little freedom a disabled person may have.

Mount two pieces of Perspex with a piano hinge one end and a small hole for a padlock the other. I don't think you can go too secure or
it'll just be a ball ache every time you change the date / time.

Who polices the parking? As you have a distinctive car, if it's administered internally, can you let them know you're coming?
The bonded to acrylic/polycarb and permanent marker solution sounds like a good approach otherwise, though don't use acetone to take the
permanent marker off acrylic!
I made a dash panel out of clear Perspex, but sprayed black from behind. I masked out a circle for the tax disc (back in the distant past when we had
to display them) and fitted it behind the dash showing through the clear circle. The only way to get to the disc was to put your hand up behind the
dash. Could you do something similar, but with a size to suit your permit? Write your time on the permit, then stick your hand up behind the dash and
Blu-tac or Velcro it on?
ETA... I found a picky of my old dash. You can't see the window for the disc, but you can get the idea?!
