Pin a note to it that says, "do not fold" in various languages, depending on where you're going. I actually did pin a "property of DeafFlyer" to my chair when I was paranoid someone would take it, thinking it was an airport chair. I even had my picture on it. Why? Because I am always the last one off of the plane.
