We always make our campsite hard to access our chill area, and lock our valuables in the car. A couple times we thiough twe lost something, but we were just confused. Our neighbor had his camelback stolen twice. he found it one night, athen it got stolen again. Shady people milling about at Bonnaroo this year.
We had shady people through our camp site - we were sleeping on Saturday afternoon when some people walked through and started looking into out tent - I woke up and say Hey and they took off.
We also woke up one morning to a wook passed out in one of our camp chairs.
Never had anything stolen tho - we always locked everything up if we were not at camp - even just to walk to the showers or bathrooms.
Plus - we made friends with our neighbors right from the start which I think really helps
On Sunday afternoon after the Ladytron show, my husband and I decided to catch the Hunter S. Thompson flick at the Cinema tent.
About 30 minutes or so into the movie, the screen went blank...2 or 3 minutes passed, and a voice came over the PA, "You're not going to believe this guys, but someone HAS STOLEN our copy of Hunter S. Thompson."
SOMEONE WALKED INTO THE PROJECTION AREA AND FUCKING TOOK THE DVD OUT OF THE MACHINE, THEN RAN.
What. The. Fuck.
You know, I think sometimes people steal things just for the sake of stealing -- It doesn't matter to them what it is.
I don't understand that element, man...It boggles my mind.

Lmao. I don't support stealing, but the fact that someone jacked the Hunter DVD is pretty funny. That's something he might've done.

^^I'm sorry, but that is really fucking hilarious. I mean... Who steals a DVD while it's playing in the Cinema Tent?? I can't even imagine the conversation sparking that idea... and how the eff does that even happen to begin with? Surely somebody saw them on their way to the machine and thought "hmm... are they supposed to be taking the DVD out of there right now?"
Sunday night there was security chasing some people in VIP. They pretty much got them right outside my tent. It wasn't too violent, but it was a ruckus. I was too tired to even stick my head out but sounded like they were serious about getting them and escorting them to the outside security. I don't know if they were stealing or just wandering around. Chewed up and spit out food sounds just nasty. Sorry for anyone who got stuff ripped off. Some people just plain suck.
Oh yeah, and the flag was a pirate flag, which I would imagine had something to do with its theft. Anyone else have a pirate flag stolen this year?
that definitely had something to do with it... There are people out there that think if you have a "pirate flag" than it gives them the right to steal stuff from you ("pirating" - see my open letter to the theif in family camp) - totally dumb.

We camped near someone with a pirate flag. A girl in my group had her purse stolen. It had been left laying around our living area unattended. Later that day we found her purse with all of her stuff dumped out and $200 missing.
Aside from that I really didn't experience much negativity. Everyone I encountered was very friendly.
My backpack, wallet, camera, and car keys were all swiped from our campsite late Fri night. Unfortunately I forgot my spare keys on my kitchen table, so I had to catch a ride with a buddy over to the GM dealer in Tullahoma on Mon morning and had to get all kinds of insurance info faxed over for them to cut me a new key. Huge pain in the ass. The sketch factor was definitely much higher this year, we had all kinds of fools wandering thru our site. Makes me really think this may have been my last year.
Yea... I didn't get my wrist checked for a wristband at all the entire weekend entering Centeroo until Sunday night going to Panic. How weird. At that point, who cares.

My friends who were camped next to me had their entire canopy stolen. THE WHOLE CANOPY! We couldn't belive that someone would steal an entire canopy from someone. Messed up, man! This was my fifth Bonnaroo and first time seeing anything like that. Oh yeah, P.S. they stole the beer in his cooler too... a**holes!

I betcha it was Kanye! KANYE SUCKS!
LOL!!! I bet it WAS Kayne, man, he hate hippies. Karma for making me laugh.

This DEFINITELY helps.
While it's certainly not going to prevent all problems, trying to make nice with everyone in a three tent radius is definitely a good way to go. Letting them see who is camping at your site, and in turn, who is at theirs, will allow everyone to know when there's "stranger danger!" Obviously, there are plenty of times when no one will be present, but just having someone able to recognize that something isn't quite right, is a good thing.
Also, I'm not sure how often it can be said, but don't keep anything tempting in your tent!! When your tent smells like the YMCA (such as my own) and there's nothing but a pile of clothes in eye shot, the chances of the bad dudes taking any time to rifle or do dirt are going to decrease drastically! If they see your camera, or something else of value, not only will they grab that, but odds are they'll keep fuc*ing your sh*t up in hopes of finding more.
I caught some shady characters eyeing up our campsite early Sunday morning and talking about stealing our flags, it was very blatant and daylight!!! However, our neighbors and us made out pretty well as far as shadyness goes, we didn't get anything stolen nor hear of any stories of the such. I'm sorry for those that did!
Just unpacked my clothes and I found my Bonnaroo shirt was missing too. I waited too long to get one last year so this year I got one I liked on my first trip in Centeroo. It was probably those cretins again!
