Maybe they moved your blanket because of what Mom&CoachsWife said. It still is wrong but I can see where the mis-communication can be.

As an outsider who is just reading these posts, it is interesting that there is two completely different sides and they are both bad.

1. The people who try to reserve seats using blankets and their stuff and not allowing anyone to sit in those seats all day long while others need and can't find a seat to sit. These people usually reserve whole sections for their "club or family" who never show up but refuse to let others in the area.

2. The people who move things out of the way to sit when there has clearly been people sitting there and they will be returning.

Can you see the connection?

I have not had a problem with people moving my stuff and taking my seat when I wasn't there. But I did encounter a very rude woman at high school districts. She had reserved three rows of seats for her "town fans" and wouldn't let anyone near them. And yes, she used a blanket and started to lay things on the seats like her purse, coat, shoes, ect. During the tournament, everyone was packed tight but there was this area of empty seats with the "vulture-woman" still guarding them. But all was good, we made some new friends with other people from other towns by sitting really close to them and we all had a common laugh at how ridiculous this woman was. Now, it has become an inside joke. But I do wonder if after seeing this type of "saving seats" over and over again, people get tired of putting up with the savers tactics and so resort to just moving the blankets, coats, ect away. Thus, you have people moving other people's stuff when they ARE using the seats.
