So left work earlier today and decided to stop by Tysons Mall (Virginia) and parked in the designated Tesla parking that has HPWC (tesla store has parking for about 6 Tesla's in a secure location with two HPWC and 1-2 40A wall sockets). There were four spaces taken so I took one of the remaining and then used the 40A wall socket and my own charger to plug in.
I then went and ran some errands at the mall that I needed to do and then met my wife and Kids for dinner (they drove out on their own due to it being a snow day). Towards the end of the dinner I received a notice that charging had been interrupted, so I promptly left my wife and kids and went back to the car. What I found was an out of state (NEW YORK) plate Model S which had unplugged my charger and left it at the rear of my car and subsequently plugged in his/her own charger into the socket. I had 50% charge so I was ok and didn't have far to get home, but it annoyed me for a few reasons:
Basically its rude that's what my conclusion is.
I could post a photo of the offending S but I wont....

I had 50% charge so I was ok and didn't have far to get home, but it annoyed me for a few reasons:
- I left dinner early because of the warning
- My charger was just unplugged directly from the wall in mid charge
- No note was left. Now, I get it if you are driving to New York overnight. However, there is a supercharger 15 miles each way of that location. Leave me a damn note, I would.
Basically its rude that's what my conclusion is.
