I got a chance to recreate my layout on the exact spot so I could photograph it for the court case (March 10). I flanked 3 of four corners with red objects and those t-tops stand out against the concrete. The 4th corner had a chair on it until the 20 minutes before he pulled through.

Just thought I'd post a picture of what it looked like when the dufus pulled forward through his spot and over my stuff. A witness said he heard the cooler being pushed along the ground just before he ran over the t-top.

How could someone be so clueless to his/her surroundings? Good luck in court! Hope you win!

I agree w/Mitch. W/O the lights and police tape your case is as good as lost!!

Not to be critical, but I like to pile up everything and leave it in the corner of my parking spot. I leave everything in a big black garbage bag and it usually wind up right on the yellow cross hairs. It works most of the time... but my air compressor bought the farm due to some promoters not familiar with their surroundings.

Good luck.

I've started bringing an ez up to the ax w/me (fits in the back with the seats down.

Kinda hard to miss that, chairs and all sitting under the ez up.
