Other kids snatching things

My kids like taking toys to the park, like dolls pram,
ride on car, bikes etc, but every time we take anything without fail random kids will try to snatch it off them, I’ve had kids trying to snatch my dds dolls pram,
sons football. One kid sat on the front of my sons bike wheel and refused to move so that he couldn’t ride it, my son asked him to come off he refused I asked him, he refused, parents ignored him. I feel like telling them in future they aren’t allowed to take things to the park anymore as it’s just exhausting constantly stopping other kids from snatching, is it mean to not let them bring things to the park? I want to buy dd a new bike but our garden isn’t big enough to ride it in but it feels pointless as we can’t take it to the park without other kids trying to take it, why do some parents allow their kids to do this and not say anything?

Because some parents are shit parents. How old are your kids?

Where are their parents? Tell them no if the parent is around.

Either chatting or playing on their phones so it’s hard to know whose kid it is as they can often be several parents in groups or on their phones, usually I tell the kids no but it’s relentless and some don’t take no for an answer like the boy on my sons bike I had to tell my son to come off it in the end so it would fall so the boy would fall off the wheel (he didn’t get hurt or just meant the bike would drop to the floor so he couldn’t sit on the wheel anymore) as he Wouldn’t move

Various ages but it’s usually the 8 and 4 year old wanting to bring things, the older ones don’t really bother

Sounds like you must live in a shit area because my child often takes her dolls and pram, bike or scooter and not once has other kids tried to snatch or grab her toys.

Starting to think that, even once
my son took his toy Tesco van to the park and some child kept chasing after him for it, he went over to his mum crying and pointing to the van and she came over and said “is that his?!” (Meaning her sons) surely she would know what toys her kid brought to the park?!
