Talking Hiding water vapor from exhaust?

I drive a blacked out 03 f150 5.4 and the problem is... people are paranoid. So when I go to school early for a good spot and work on homework for a few hours, I get the cops called on me. Sure it looks like a drug-dealers truck, perhaps FBI, but that's no reason to call the cops on me. Very annoying.

The truck is not loud and the windows are too dark to see inside. The give-away that it's running is the water mist pouring from the tail-pipe (I live in a frozen wasteland).
I absolutely do not have an internal coolant leak or anything, it's just freaking cold here.

I would like to brainstorm over some ideas of hiding this water vapor... Rags do okay.

You have a truck that looks like a drug dealers truck. Make your truck not look like a drug dealers truck and you’ll take care of the issue.

You need to go to school 3 hours early to get a parking spot ? and you definitely don't want to stuff rags in your exhaust pipe while your truck is running... you will be walking to School and will not have to worry about a good parking spot.

My school has 20k students and 1k parking spots. I live a ways away.
If you put a potato in a tail-pipe it will fire when you start it, no harm done. So ya know.

Maybe it's just me but when I went to campus early to get a parking spot I went inside a building to work on homework. I didn't sit and idle my truck to work on homework. That seems like the easiest solution to me.

Truck not running = no water vapor.

I'm so confused
Any cop/person/creature with a halfway working brain knows what exhaust looks like. It's probably people wondering what that lone truck is doing in the parking lot of a school at 0500
