X50 on the horrible comment. Imagine being the owner of one of those classics that ate a tent pole

That sucks.

I bet the guy that set up the tent was packing up his house to move.

I suspect this will be considered an "act of God" and the car owner's insurance will have to pay for repairs. If they don't have insurance, they may be out of luck and have to pay out of pocket for any repairs. Remember, this was a windstorm that destroyed the tent and I can't imagine how either Russo and Steele or the company that owned the tent can be held responsible.
