Alright - everybody does it from time to time, you're wandering around watching where you're going and *poof* you spy something worthwhile on the ground. My wife was the queen of the ground-score this weekend. On Saturday while helping the clean vibes folks pick up the embarassing mess that was left at The Other Tent - she found a packed piece of glass (that makes 2 found pieces of glass in 6 roos - not a bad ratio). Then later that afternoon she's wandering to the bathroom in VIP and finds a $20 on the ground. Must have been karma - nearly every stage/tent we went to she would spend at least a few minutes up the trash left behind around us.

some one found my "why" pass that gave me access to backstage....irreplaceable and valuable. i had to leave after i lost it....i had no credentials to prove that i was supposed to be backstage. it was going to be my sentimental souvenir from 'Roo '07. total bummer.

I am hesitant to pick things up off the ground myself. I saw these 2 guys standing at the beer stand by the fountain playing a game they called "Poop dollar".
This guy had 10 $1 bills and he was making paper weights out of mud shapped like turds, blowing their nose on them, spiting on it... It was gross and i won't ever pick up anything off the ground because of it.
I found a nice little wooden necklace at The Which Stage and also some dude's digi recorder. I knew whose it was because I saw the guy with it earlier. So I picked it up, (because people were stepping on it) and waited to see if he'd come back. Sure enough, he did and I gave him his recorder and he gave me 20 bucks in return. He told me I just saved him from getting fired.
I did pretty good. I found a Pooh do-rag on the first day...two tickets for the brooers village and on saturday I found a beautiful blue brand new sarong with turtles on it...i left it the first time but 15 minutes later when I went back it was still there. Ground Score!!!!
Well we found a nice soccer jersey laying in the middle of the What Stage right before Wilco. Then the dude who lost it found us, and he was pissed off. He said "You just pick up stuff you find lying on the ground?" But I figured someone just left it there. We would probably turned it into Lost and Found anyway...
not a find but we were sitting under a Bobblehead waiting for Rx Bandits and two chicks in a golf cart drove up loooked at us and said "here - why don't you sit on this" and handed up one of those 3 x 6 foot vinyl Bonnaroo signs. We said thanks - waited til they drove away and folded it and stuck it in the back pack - I was not about to sit on it - that is an awesome souvenier
I lost my Princeton Tech Headlamp I know its a long shot, but if anyone happened to pick it up, I will pay you for it, it had some sentimental meanings to me soo yea.. Just PM me
I "lost" my camelpak honestly im not sure if I lost it or if it just got lifted but its my fault for leaving it out in the open at my campsite. I also saw 2 Tupperware container full of some nuts and a tight bubbler but i left it. Karma will take care of it all and i learn a lesson.

I didn't find anything, but during Tool someone else "found" my backpack while I wasn't looking and stole it. Against all odds, it finally showed up at the Lost & Found-- with my wallet and keys!!-- on Sunday morning.

Somebody "found" my cooler and my camping chair Sunday night, then had the nerve to call me this morning to remind me that they had my chair and had their laughs (my address and number is on a tag on the chair in case it gets lost).
Karma got back at them though, because I have caller ID and got their phone number and traced it and filed a theft report with the chattanooga police. So, soon I can "find" my cooler and chair again hopefully.
Plus, my cooler was stocked with all the crappy cheap beer I brought just as reserves. Ha.
Yep. Someone stole my co-host's bookbag when he went sliding headfirst through the fountain. He literally had put his bag down for less than a minute. I was just about 50 feet behind him doing an interview, so I had no idea what was going on. That TRULY fucked us, because he had our ONLY camera!!!! I also had to end up spotting him money for the whole weekend which didn't really allow for any extra spending..which also sucked. He had his wallet, cell phone and CAR KEYS in there. Luckily, he had an extra pair of keys sent to the head of Roo press so we could get home! His bag was returned to lost and found with his wallet, but they took all the money, credit cards, and even his f'n library card. No camera, no keys...
I hate those piece of sh!t thieves... What a way to ruin our first f'n night there! (Although B was so pissed about the whole thing, I tried to keep his head up. I would have felt totally violated too!)

Wow. thats absolutely terrible.... I hope for your sake they get theirs.. I didn't see much illness going on but i did see the f*ckers setting peoples trash bags that were tied to their side mirrors on their cars on fire...I waved down a mounty and pointed them in the wrong-doers direction...
cheeky, cheers to you my friend...you wouldn't happen to be the one who handed me a bowl for free this morning around Pod 8?
Oh yeah, and WTF....someone stole my chair this morning?!? I was so pissed because I was shocked someone would steal a fabric 7 dollar chair, especially Monday morning...
I found a small piece on the ground at the gravel road leading right up to the main entrance to centeroo. It was especially cool because my girlfriend got hers confiscated at the gate (our passenger didn't think to hide anything and left it all on his seat - oh and we lost 3 cases of Oberon too )
Wow I cannot believe all that got taken. That is really awful. It is funny b/c on Friday we were at the Other tent pretty much all day. We set up under a tree...had a sleeping bag spread out to sit on and we left one of our back-packs there when we went wondering around. Granted it just had water and snacks in it...but I told my husband how cool it was we could just leave our stuff and no one would bother it.
It is too bad some people have to be such a%*holes and ruin the experience for others.

wow i thought i was being SUPER paranoid but during S&D i kept on seeing pppl looking around at the ground for stuff, kept on coming up real close to my bag, im glad i kept it close to me at all times!
^^^Becs - we were the same way during Flips - it just got wild there for a little while - a chick that was selling clothes and breakfast had a hoodie she mad estolen and one of her friends had passed out in his camp chair - had a small pack attached to his belt loop and someone actually came up and took it off of him while he was passed out - he lost about $300 and a ton of goodies he had picked up to take home

I lost a 20 dollar bill at Rod Y Gab; a 50$ wooden flute in the oceana activist tent(stolen?), a G o' K at Panic, and one of my shoes (ha!)
I found glass in the woods near VIP and tent only, unused (was) but i can send it if someone describes it, it is very nice. Also found green things at SCI, which were dispersed to people with dreads and dancing at JBT, Xavier Rudd, and WMD'S. My brother lost a 400$ satchel of misc. goodies at Tool, an hour later we went back to the same spot, i found it in 3 minutes, totally allsome.
I found sunglasses, but left them at the B&J stand they were near in case someone came back for them - they weren't super awesome shades and it would suck to be at Bonnaroo without them.
Thinking about it, I think someone stole my toothpaste (someone else mentioned this in another thread). I left it out overnight on a cooler and couldn't find it again even after packing and unpacking. Really for things like toothpaste, I figure the person really needed it and heck, I had other campmates who also like dental hygiene so I borrowed from them!
Well I feel really lucky not to have anything taken, really. We left stuff sitting out the whole weekend, 2 cd players, cds, coolers, chairs, etc. And we left all our cars unlocked the whole weekend, one even had the keys sitting in the driver's seat the whole time. One night I woke up and found 2 people sitting in our chairs but they were just having a smoke on their way back to BFE and wanted a quick rest. They were nice guys and didn't disturb a single thing in our campsite.
I lost some fun guys so someone had a good ground score on me.
Only thing I found was a car key, but we turned that in so hopefully someone got it back so they could get home.
I know its a long shot, but if anyone happened to pick it up, I will pay you for it, it had some sentimental meanings to me soo yea.. Just PM me
