highz, we agree. After we roused them out, both the Lady and I commented that we keep way too neat of a campsite. Our small take apart table was the only item outside.highz said:I wonder if our campers are a factor here? If you keep a clean campsite, there will be an empty tent site and table, which would be tempting to the rude / clueless. Anyone with half a brain ought to recognize the site is occupied, but that's not all of the population. Maybe it is good to keep chairs or some other sign of occupancy in the tent area.
Thank you- I have a reason to keep a messy camp now ! Yep if they would have backed over a few chairs and a cooler or two maybe they would have-----no, second thought, would have not made a difference, besides they probably would have stolen them, you know all those free things laying around-like what may have happened to Ted if they gone for a day or two-I don't think that pile of their stuff would have been there on their return!

The quote is much appreciated. The Sun Tzu quote I enjoy speaks of patience -Wu Wei said:The way you handled your situation reminds me of a quote by Sun Tzu. "When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move." They may not be your enemy,but it works just the same for the clueless...
Yep, I hear you, Smoke. I certainly wouldn't leave anything valuable out. If someone steals my old, cheap camp chair, they deserve it. I also have a "Campsite Occupied" sign that I would put in a noticeable place.Smokecreek1 said:Thank you- I have a reason to keep a messy camp now !
