This will be my first 'roo, and I hope nothing gets stolen. However, I think the main goal should be to make it as difficult as possible for someone to just walk by and grab something. Most thieves are just looking for something quick and are nervous that the rightful owner will come back during the robbing. My BF and I are doing Tent-only, so it'll be a challenge to hide any of the few valuables we bring. I plan on bike-locking everything to everything. i.e. my grill to the cooler to the tent to the ez-up. Which should be something that no one person can carry.
I've been to 7 Roos and never had anything stolen or known anyone whose had anything stolen. That being said, I do lock up anything of significant value but I leave my radio and coolers out.
Theft happens and it's best to be prepared, but it's uncommon so don't obsess over it. As others have said, get to known your neighbors on Thursday and everyone will know who belongs and who doesn't. An informal neighborhood watch program is the best defense.
I just plan on locking all of my stuff in my car, although obviously that won't work for tent-only
I lock most all of my stuff in my car as well but last year I heard about someone whose entire tent was stolen.
Sadly... that was my tent. But it's all good! I hope it served 'em well. I'm gonna take a few more precautions this year to protect my tent and make sure it stays put.

Happened across this little doodad the other day and thought i would pass along the link...for only $30 it might be worth checking out. If it works the way it says it does, it would be ideal for 'Roo...
"We're no longer called Sonic Death Monkey. We're on the verge of becoming Kathleen Turner Overdrive, but just for tonight, we are Barry Jive and his Uptown Five. "
this is a shame, why f'n steal stuff a 'roo. i guess we got to know our neighbors really well. 4 of our neighbors road a greyhound in and had not a lot of food/beer so we would hook them up all weekend and they would also use our shade tent...i hope i don't get stuck with thieving wooks near me or lurking about

We have only had beer stolen from us.(but they did leave us a smart amount)...we are usually pretty good about putting up our music and such, but we've never had probs with chairs, fans, shoes, etc. Man sorry about your tent, that would absolutely suck! Hope everyone has a theif free weekend!
I have a full size female mannequin I could leave at the site. Unfortunately I have no clothes for her. And I think a potential naked female might attract more people than it would repel so...
Know your neighbors, Know your neighbors, Know your neighbors, Last year in access their was someone going through peoples tent someone near us confronted them and they took off. Know your neighbors, Know your neighbors, Know your neighbors,
Knowing your neighbors is good, unless your neighbors are thieves. If they are, knowing them will just let them know when it's safe to rip you off. They'll just wait until you're gone and it starts raining and your tent is left open, act like they're securing yer tent, and take everything.

You know, I've never thought of that. I'm totally f&cking dissing my neighbors as soon as I get there.
