Can I just say... me and my crew of 16 first timers had the TIME OF OUR LIVES... but that isnt what this thread is about...
....I just wanted to share that on sunday, after a decent amount of mid day partying (aka... I was acting a fool, come on now...) I realized I lost my wallet. Not completely disillusioned, I ran back to camp back in BFE... chanting "THE BILLS MAKE ME WANNA SHOOUUTTT! AYYYYY AYYY AYYYY!" (.... if you saw that, i'm sorry)
No wallet at camp. No wallet at Lost at found. Cancelled my cards. Friends had to spot me the rest of the day/night/ride home. Boo.
Came home to a voice mail on my answering machine from a boy in VA who is mailing my wallet home to me tomorrow. Needless to say he's getting a homegrown buffalove package in return.
Thats all. I just was really excited about the fantastic Karma... even my mom almost got teary at how impressed she was over the "BonnaBelief" as she called it.

You're very lucky
A friend of mine picked up a wallet that was left where we were sitting at the Springsteen show Saturday night. The guy came back a little while later, and when my friend gave it back to him (money and all, duh), he couldn't believe it!
Festival karma does exist I picked up a ticket at Ultra that was lying on the ground and when I saw kids looking FRANTICALLY for something, came up to them and lo and behold, they had lost their ticket. Be thankful for the good people - but ALWAYS be smart about your stuff!

Wow that is really awesome, I can't imagine the number of wallets people lose and never get back during roo each year. Major karma to the wallet savior and you need to go play the lottery or something
"It's hard to say whether seeing Kellz backed by Jim James and his lion's mane hairdo or Billy Idol rocking out next to John Oates and his soul patch was weirder to watch. Let's just say both were beautifully bizarre sights to behold."
Sunday night when walking to our friend's camp we found a couple deserted luggage bags. We decided to call and make fun of the girl for being so messed up she forget her shit. An older woman answers and tells us her son and husband are and Bonnaroo and had their bags stolen! We met up with her husband and returned the bags, which had been ransacked, but only contained camping equipment.

Congrats! That's such a huge relief and also an amazing feeling knowing there are good folk out in the world.
Found a wallet under our tarp upon cleaning up camp Monday. This little lady lost multiple credit cards and a bank card, on top of chunk of cash. Upon returning home I called all the credit cards, with each one there was a foreign person who didn't speak English very well on the other end of the line. FINALLY, the very last number I called a very nice young man's voice came over the line, he contacted her mother and gave me the number to call. I got in touch and she's calling me back tomorrow with their UPS number (whatever that means?). I was so discouraged up until that last call but I'm so glad I finally got in touch with them.

A few weeks ago I went to the gas station around the corner from my house to get a pack of smokes with some change out of my change jar, and found a wallet in the parking lot, opened it to look around for the owner who was gone. I gave the wallet to the cute little asian lady who runs the place and bought my smokes and went back home. 2 days later I dig more change out of my jar and go to get another pack from the same place, and instead of buying smokes, the cute little asian lady hands me a carton with a post-it note that says "thanks for saving me time and money". If karma works that fast sometimes, I'm glad I did the right thing and turned his wallet in, or maybe I'd have broken an ankle on the way home or something.
I found a nice watch in Centeroo. I turned it in to the Lost and Found. I also found other things in Centeroo which could not be turned in to the Lost and Found. Everyday actually. It was a good year
same thing happened to my friend. a girl from Alabama found it and is mailing it back to him...also when we went in '07 my buddy lost a phone and someone from AZ found it and sent it back...really cool

my friend found a backback while we were leaving one of the shows.....whoever was playing escapes me right now. He opened it up to see if we could find the owner but all he saw was a couple of tickets and a bottle of lotion. Later on he went to lost and found and returned the bag.
Once he finally met up with us he tells us the story about turning in the bag and how he googled the lotion that was in there to find out what it was for. Its main use was for yeast infection.
I think it's great that you were singing the Bills' celebration song at Bonnaroo. There was a lot of Buffalo love at Roo this year whenever I wore my Bills' hat!!! Glad you're getting your stuff back!
Last year, I lost my ticket to Kings of Leon while waiting to get in for the show. When someone saw me frantically searching for it, he directed me to someone who had found a ticket on the ground. This person gladly gave me back my ticket. Guess what? He was wearing a Bonnaroo shirt :-) That was a great show too. I'm sad KoL is playing big venues now.

My boyfriend had a lot of ground scores this year also, it was kind of crazy, but very nice.
maybe its cause this year i was intune and actually looking for the ground score... figured sunup at moe would be a good place to find something fun that could not be turned in.
found some old schwaggy corn, just a bit. that was it. was it the only bad corn at the roo?
me and my roo buddy found 50 dollars blowing on our way into centeroo thursday. no wallet or anything, so we couldnt look for the owner. nobody was looking around anywhere like they had lost anything, but it still made me fell kinda dirty to just pocket it. wish i could have figured it out. but on the other hand, we ended up needing that money when we had to get a hotel for an extra night, so maybe that was just fate helping us out.

As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!

Pssst. The little Asian lady is just trying to kill you with cigarettes.
Yay Roo Karma! I lost my phone sometime during or before the Beastie Boys set and figured it was probably gone for good (luckily, it was my backup phone). Used my boyfriend's phone to suspend my line and then called in Saturday morning to have all my calls forwarded to his number. I work for my cell phone company, specifically in the Employee Phone department, so the person who answered my call happened to be my team and got a kick out of "I lost my phone at Beastie Boys."
Two hours later, I stop by the Lost & Found in Centeroo and it was there! Immediately called back to work and get my closest friend in the department, who starts laughing when I tell the story. I really wish we could listen to that call cause it was quite funny from my end too. And I kept the good Karma going; that night at Nine Inch Nails I saw a dude searching for something. He lost his phone near me while I was hooping to NIN so I grabbed my phone and called his number. It lit up and we found it, no damage done :-)
