Considering you're the owner, and that you've probably spent a lot of time
and money on your car, and that you've had problems in the past with people
overstepping their bounds, I think you've got every right to do anything you
want with your car short of chaining guard dogs to it. There is *never* a
time when it's okay for a stranger to sit in your car without asking you
first, festival or no festival. If yellow tape is what it takes for people
to be respectful, go for it.

Personally, I've never had this problem...but then again, I usually offer to
let people sit in my DeLorean. I figure giving a kid the rare chance to
interact with the Back to the Future car outweighs any amount of dirt he/she
might track onto my expensive floormats.

I usually do have a problem with people wanting to touch the stainless.
Then again, once they find out that a DeLorean that has sat in the sun for
two hours is basically a giant frying pan, they don't try to touch it again.
