Re RR's jest, at an annual rally of the VAR here a couple of years ago some vandal set fire to cars in a semi secure park, markedly damaging one Seven.
With everyone toting a camera the selfie mania gets out of control. A firm line is needed to keep strangers out of cars.
We had an elderly member of the VAR who also owned a large veteran car. At a show I was bemused to observe his wife left in charge. A fellow with a cute daughter asked if she could sit in and have photo taken. Based on long experinece the lady replied very firmly....No!
With a Club I visited a private collection. The owner was miffed that a school party had knicked the now hard to find metal valve caps off one car. Some resent the skill and ingenuity represented by restored cars. Souveniring bits becomes a game.
We have the local Museum of Transport. If you look carefully most of the older cars on display are missing small removable items
