this is a real problem for me. I play outside, have to move equipment in 4 nights a week and a playing on a brick walkway. Customers are on three sides of me and I'm set up right in front of a gate to a swimming pool. The pool is closed before I start, but every year, kids sneak into the pool and then come out the gate. After dark, they don't see the cords (and sometimes I don't know they're back there. I have had a Parker Fly and a nice nylon string kicked across the bricks, with significant damage.

I now use junkers and keep my eye on customers as much as possible.

It's not a good situation, but I've been on the job a long time, and get lot's of jobs from patrons in the off season.
