After reading the comments on this thread one would almost come to the conclusion that people here don't support private property ownership rights. I'm sure I'm mistaken, though.

No, I don't think that's it. I think everyone agrees that Ford can do whatever it wants with its property. The point is the question of why Ford employees wouldn't buy Fords, given the employee discounts, etc.
You need to work a bit on your ability to think logically. If folks opposed private property rights, they'd be calling for legislation to ban the practice.
Folks here aren't saying that Ford can't do this; they are just pointing out how stupid the Ford decision is.
It's entirely possible to recognize Ford's legal right to restrict what goes on its property while also acknowledging that such a policy is extremely evil.
No, Ford certainly has the right to tell their employees that they can't park their non-Ford cars in the lots, that they need to park elsewhere. That's management's right. Of course, I'm sure that it does a world of good for employee moral, being told you can't park here, after announcing that they're going to lay off 30,000 employees.
Yup, great publicity move, and employee moral builder.
