Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
This has happened to me twice. Last year at a cruise I saw a teen looking very suspicious near my car (Frank/Bill you might remember this from Aurora). I kept watching him and then I notice that he is opening my door!
 So I walk over to him and ask what he is doing. Just mumbles and walks away.Then a few weeks ago a Mom, Dad and their young boy checking out my car at a cruise. And again the kid opens my door then slams it all while the parents watch it happen.  Again I say what the heck are you doing?! Neither the kid or parents say anything. This happen to anyone else?

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
Is this a respect thing or are you thinking possible theft? Either way its wrong.. If I come across a car at a show and just HAVE to set in it or something.. I get permission.. I know what you mean.

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
First case I suspect theft cause the kid was looking around before he sneaked to open the door.
Second case I suspect was just plain stupidity.

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
There was a Corvette show in a Chevy dealer and I was asked to park the Coupe inside the showroom and a little kid (6 or 7) opened the door and sat in the car. I did not think anything of it in terms of the kid stealing anything but I told him the cars were on display and he should not sit in anyone's Vette. He got nervous and ran to his appoligetic parents.

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
It's not just some of our youth today,it's the adults as well.
I find Carshows command a lil more respect from people. Car Cruises don't. In 1998 at an area car cruise,a mother set a blanket on my closed deck lid,and then set her infant on that,and was going to use my car as a changing table to change a Dirty Diaper.I was across the aisle in conversation,and when I saw this unfolding,it felt like it was all happening in slow motion.I couldn't believe it.  I ran up to her and yelled "STOP doing that,you Stupid B****!" once I got within 30 ft.She stopped immediately,picked up here half clad Baby & Blanket,rolled her eyes at me & walked huridly away.No apology,no return to apologize.She was as old as I was,and never thought she was doing anything wrong.

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
To most people a car is nothing more than a way to get around. These people probably would not dream of doing the things mentioned to a brand new Mercedes yet they will to a restored muscle car. If they only knew that the value most of the time eclipses that of new Mercedes and sometimes the Mercedes owners house they might think twice.

Re: Teens helping themselves to your car at a cruise
I don't mind if im there and i see some kids come up to the car. If they look enthused, i would let them sit in it. Hey remember when you were a kid and you had the chance to sit in a muscle car?, to some of us it changed our life. I love the look on their face, the parents get a kick out of it too. During shows most people are respectful, but im usually close by.
