Cruise night + unsupervised kids = chipped paint

[VRM]

I've been involved with a bunch of car shows and I have told a couple of parents that if their out-of-control kid causes any damage that they will be financially responsible for it. One of them gave me a hard time about it so the whole family got ejected.

I heard another story about how a kid picked up a rock and started banging on a bunch of cars at a show. I don't know how true it is as nobody telling it was ever there, but it supposedly happened in VT.

I think people need to be financially responsible for this kind of crap.

I told my brother my situation and he recalls a friend telling him of unattended kids throwing rocks at each other and along with a few cars at a car show. I'm very leary of doing the cruise nights again. Maybe just as a spectator Also, as archrms states why do some people just have to put their hands on the shiny paint? That brings back a memory of when the car was delivered to the house. One of several neighbors came down and was touchy feely all over the car. I dealt with it because the car needed cleaning after delivery and a trip to Olthoff's. But then he grabbed the wing window and started swinging it back and forth. That's when my anal speech came out!

Aren't they? If somebody's little* kids damaged my car, I would be firm but easy on the kids and I'd jump all over the parents. Dam' right they'd be financially responsible.

*I say "little" because we often still refer to 18 and 19 year olds as "kids". Different story altogether.
