Sad, but a good lesson for all owners.

I guess it goes to show that if one was at a show and shine, you should introduce yourself to the owners of the other cars parked next to yours. If you need to make a pit stop, or want to wander around, to ask them to keep an eye on the car for you. Locking it up may also prevent things like shift knobs from disappearing as well..I know car club members, will often park togeather at these events, which can offer additional protection..
