Well friday morning mine and my girlfriends tent was robbed, yes ROBBED AT BONNAROO....we lost $700 cash, a $600 camera, countless "goodies", and her purse. They were inside our tent while we were sleeping and someone had the balls to take her purse and my backpack. Also, tons of bunk party favors going around, and hardly anything worth a crap...There were so many different frats flags flying over tent city... Instead of people sittin around smokin they were playin beer pong everywhere...All bonnarookies - nothing against comin for ur first time - but im just saying that roo isnt BONNAROOOOO anymore... its not the same. And we werent the only people being robbed. Apparently some gang from NY was down here to make some cash (headliners really brought a different crowd eh?) Anyway, anyone else been robbed @ roo? We have decided to stick with the smaller, safer, more fun fests a la Rothbury, Langerado and ones of that nature...BE CAREFUL FROM NOW ON! its not the safe haven it was in 02-06

I don't get why people complain about people playing beer pong. Who gives a shit what other people are doing. They're having fun, and that's what Bonnaroo is about. It's a personal experience.
That being said, sorry to hear about your belongings being taken away. That's never good to have happen.
ok well we were burglarized...they didnt just take stuff...they took my wallet and my camera lol - the only things worth anything - but yea they hit the camps around us hard so i heard - the head officer in charge of security told me that next year people are gunna be mad becuase they are gunna have WAY more security, but its for our own good. - and im not complainin abour beer pong lol, jus usin it as a point as to the type of crowd this year is all...nothing against them either, they werent the ones that stole from us lol

I wouldn't be mad at more secuirty as long as they don't let it go to their head and act like dicks about it. Just keep the peace, no reason to interject yourself into someone else's Roo unless it's for safety reasons.

^ Oh yeah. The guys that took my stuff on Sunday looked like they had a serious hard-on about doing it. Like they were so stoked. Fucking douchebags. No, I don't have the inclination to censor it myself. Fuck them.
yea the cops at roo are real nice... i was talkn to em all weekend about it - they just dont want people being taken advantage of, either by bein stolen from or being sold fake stuffs.

Security should protect against theft, unsafe behavior, and the overall wellbeing of the festival. That's it. If those are the areas that they focus more security on, then that's awesome. I highly doubt that though...

Yeah, the guys behind us were playing a crazy game of beer pong on Saturday or Sunday, and it was hilarious to watch. I was envious of them having so much fun, even though I knew they'd be hating the world at 5 in the afternoon (drunk comedown sucks, don't it?). I don't do beer pong, but I have no problem with anyone playing it.
that is a sad state of affairs right there. i can promise you at the smaller fests you dont need a protection device. wow.
Actually anytime you have spun out kids,or anyone entering the fest without a wristband,you have to expect the un-expected.
I an no fest rookie.
im not saying you are, im just saying its sad that its come to wanting to protect yourself with mace or whatever at a fest. i think that is unfortunate.

The difference is that robbery entails violence or the threat of violence. Big difference than just things being stolen.
Someone coming in your tent while you are sleeping is pertty bad imo. Why try to make light of it.
I'm sure that there could very well have been violence had the victims awoken.
From now on,I will make sure my wife has some sort of personal protection device at the next fest we attend.
Who's making light of it? It's a simple distinction between the two crimes. And if they had awoken and violence followed, then it would have been a robbery. Pretty simple.
Here's the thing though. There were 60,000+ people at this event. Do y'all REALLY expect everyone to be little angels? Criminals are everywhere. Yes, even Bonnaroo.
lmao ... L2R (learn 2 read) i said nothing about beer pong people ruining anything...being stolen from didnt ruin my bonnaroo, i still had fun :-) i was jus stating what kind of crowds where there - beer pong is fine lol - stealing isnt tho....but yea dont get me wrong...im non-judgemental those guys are all cool to me, but not those quacks that stole from us lol
thas just me yo. 
but I guess we're just two more greeks ruining bonnaroo...
