Well, in my experience of owning for over 4 years and taking it to many car shows, I have come to one solution to your problem -- Take it to shows you know and trust. I have several local cruise in's in my area, about 1 or 2 each day if one wants to go to them all. I have found several good ones with no problem, but have found some where I saw deeds done to mine and other cars that would be almost considered vandalizm ( one case a father was laughing at his son as the little boy was kicking stones at a classic mustang). I would simply not go back to shows that you have had problems. Oh also, have you been with your car the whole time? I have found that most people are a bit more cautious when the owner is right there.

After a year of ownership I finally started taking my car to car shows. I've only been to 3 so far, 2 were actual car shows themselves and one was a car show at street festival type event so there was a lot of people there not just for the car show. My problem/questiom is since one of the unique things about the car is the doors abviously so I leave them up but what I found is that people are not that respectful about cars when your at a festival and not just a car show itself. I had 3 people help themselves to sit inside my car even with the Please Look but Don't Touch sign in the window. Jason #5903
