What do you guys do

To protect from stolen things?
It happened to me for the first time today. I lost a lid and my only working metallic gold to a bunch of kids.
So I thought of two options; one, put my paints in an enclosed tray, two, have my own table and chairs that I cart around with me, so they have to set up a space for that.
What do you guys do?

i always try to put my table against a wall...i don't let the kids get to close as I do alot of eye designs. and i keep my stuff in hands reach...I have noticed the more compact i keep my kit the better eye I have on it...I have had glitter walk away from my table. before...

I have my own table and director's chair. I keep the table to my right (I'm right handed) and the kids to my left.

Sorry to hear that someone stole your stuff! I do the same as others here. I try to position my table in a corner, and sit alongside it with the queue AWAY from the table. If anyone gets too up-close and personal with my kit, I stop, give them a pointed but friendly stare, and announce that I'm unfortunately unable to paint anyone who touches my supplies.

Usually does the job.

I "lost" some glitter tattoo stencils today, people stink!
