We used to have lots of trades shows years ago for my business in New Orleans but after lots of problems our event coordinators have canceled all future shows there. All kinds of problems.

Might as well put the canopy on the plane too in the hangar if you got that much free time.

Loose chocks which is what the OP I think is talking about. Wheel stops which are permanently placed are a separate subject. I notice those who chock wheels in a t-hangar also put cowl plugs, pitot sock on and lock the plane. These folks typically wear both belts and suspenders.
