I want to hear from others who live in this area about this situation. I’m going to Crescent City, California to a car show on October 6 and 7, and I’m going to ask the car owners if they’re running into this crap. I hope that I don’t hear all this negativity from them. I’ve always believed that an open-air car show was a place to share your pride and joy and let others see what cars were like and how amazing they were.
I hope you understand how upset these responces have made me feel. And hey, a little kid touching a beautfiul car with a “Do Not Touch” sign on it is a wonderful way for an adult to teach that child what not to do.

Mike,
You shouldn't have any problems in Crecent City, CA or southern Oregon. They are still rural and as H. L. pointed out, the main problems are in more urban areas.
There used to be a lot of rural areas in Southern California but now we have a lot of people from out of state. Many people do things they wouldn't do in their home towns. You have to be assertive. It's your car and you should not be afraid to let people know when they are crossing the line.
