Theoretically I will ask you kindly to immediately remove the giant flag from my car, else you will face 2 lawsuits:

A the misuse of the Star Spangled Banner

B you disable my vehicle to the effect that I will experience dramatic loss, for which I will hold you accountable.
Well I suppose that's a reasonable response. If it were my car I wouldn't even ask you to take it down, I'd take it down myself because it's on my property. As to the original story, it would help to see some pictures of what actually happened. Perhaps the story has been a little exaggerated to elicit the kind of emotional responses that we've seen here. If I were the boss in that office, I'd probably be OK with the flag if the employee first asked for my permission and it wasn't in anyone's way or view. I have nothing against the flag and have one or two at home for special occasions, but I still find it rather inappropriate to place a big flag at your workplace without even consulting anyone. Makes me wonder what that woman was trying to prove or compensate for. Just because it's the flag doesn't mean you can just place it anywhere you want, like my wrapped car example demonstrates.
