I can only recall perhaps a handful of incidents where somebody was disrespectful of the car or abusive towards me.  I guess that we grow "them" differently up here in the Pacific Northwest.  Granted, I have had a few folks jump in and have a friend snap a quick picture when they think that I am not looking, but there has never been any damage or mischief to speak of.  Most of the time people will ask politely if they can sit in the car, and many people ask for permission just to take a picture of it on display.  Maybe all of the rain up here washes away the rudeness?  Fascinating.

I agree with Toby's experiences.
I only once had a bad experience and closed and locked the car because (little) children thought of the cars as play ground.
Parents didn't correct them and when asked to, they bad mouthed to the owners.

Usually most people are very interested and politely asking if the can sit in the car for a snapshot or for the feel of it.
