We have two separate issues at hand. First is moving cones and taking a spot that the owner of the location has deemed reasonable. Second is the actual premise of saving spots at shows.

I have no qualms with the way you handled things Rich. When pressed in that situation we'd all benefit from taking advice on how you handled the situation.

My problem is with reserving spots in general. The general rule is that if you weren't there first you have no real claim to anything. The first thing that comes to mind is waiting in lines. We'd all love to skip to the front of the register check out, ticket line or the bathroom. I don't understand why we as a society know that somehow skipping to the front of a line is wrong, but reserving spaces for someone who is tardy is right? These car show have created this atmosphere. It also happens at camp grounds where people "save" a prime piece of real estate even though they've got no real claim to the property. We all pay the same amount to camp or show our cars at the same show. It's like general admission at a concert. If you get there early, you get to lean against the rail and be closest to the band.

I guess it's the same old problem that's been going on forever.
