We found our $700 generator had been stolen when we came back from WSP on Sunday night......that along with the ridiculous dust in centeroo made my 5th Bonnaroo my last!
That is so f**ked up! I can't believe people. I had a generator and it was locked to the bumper of the camper. I felt a little bad locking it up, like I didn't trust the people around me, but I feel better now after hearing your story. Well, hopefully when they are unloading it , it will fall on someones foot and break it. What goes around..........

At Ornette Coleman I dropped my wallet without knowing it. At some point (I'm not exactly sure how long because I don't know when I dropped my wallet) a nice looking fellow tapped me on my arm and said, Hey man. You might wanna be more careful. Someone could of taken this. I was really appreciative of what this guy did. He seemed so honest and kind that I let him hit the blunt I was ripping. After a drag or two he said he was going to check out the White Stripes, so I shook his hand and we parted ways. After Ornette was overwhelmed by the heat I headed over to see the rest of the White Stripes. When I got over to the Which Stage I reached into my wallet to grab some money to purchase a nice Magic Hat. Well, what do you know? I though to myself. There's $40 missing.
I was pretty mad when this happened. He seemed so cool and friendly. But I was wrong. He played the role pretty well, though. I never even second-guessed him and checked my wallet. Luckily my buddy spotted me some cash so I could eat and afford the drive home. It sucks, but what can you do? I take comfort in knowing karma willl come back and bite him in the ass. He'll probably get caught for participating in a much bigger robbery, go to jail, and finally, get anally raped by a large, uninviting cell mate. Yup. That's the way it's going to go down.

Maybe he was the one that dropped the $40 I found on the road near my campsite!

I know this isn't related to roo (roolated?), but I had read this thread previously and I just couldn't believe what happened yesterday... so forgive me for speaking of the real world outside of our annual oasis...
Yesterday my husband's truck was parked at work in a busy business area (Cedar Bluff) here in Knoxville. Some a$$hole went under the truck and cut about 3' of our exhaust system out with a hacksaw... including the passenger side catalytic converter...
This wouldn't be so bad if my car weren't already out of commission. Plus there's a $500 deductible (that we don't have) with our insurance... Why would someone do that? I mean, money, yeah, I get it... but jesus h christ.

God that's terrible! I'm sorry to hear of your troubles.

HUH? That is outrageous - no one saw him and asked what the hell he was doing - I mean after all - it had to take more then a min or two to do that, wouldn't it?

With one of those 18-volt portable Sawzalls, you could cut through that pipe in 30 seconds or less. I bet he could be gone in 2 minutes, assuming this wasn't their first time...
Catalytic converters have a bunch of precious metals that can be recycled for $$$ - I'm guessing some enterprising meth-head probably stole it for a fix.

First, just know, Karma will come back to that guy, and probably in an undesirable way
Second, Roolated is great, and its going in the Dictionaroo

This has been happening ALOT in Memphis...I'd say for the past 6-7months!! They steal 'em for the platinum...thatsa what I heard!
Oh, and as far as Bonnaroo theivery we didn't experience any in '06 or '07. Nevertheless we did chain up our generator and locked up other valuables in the camper when we left. You know, just-in-case!

Ef that. people are real desparate, pick pocketing seems a hell of lot easier, and nicer really . . . lol, if your thinking long term
It's marginally safer than stealing copper wiring, and probably pays at least as well. The metal recyclers around here take a fingerprint and full DL info to cut down on the shady characters turning in stolen stuff.

Maybe Bonnaroo needs some kind of community watch program? And a stockade in a town center to humiliate the criminals. We could then throw old vegetables and poop at them. ;D
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it

This was my 5th year and I've yet to have stuff stolen. Or atleast I haven't noticed anything gone. My beer cooler looked kind of low after Friday night but I definately wasn't counting so it might very well been me.
And to the people complaining about dust. Give me a break. If it wasn't the dust then it would've been the mud you were complaining about. This is the first year that I can remember that there wasn't a significant rain/mud problem. I actually disliked the water trucks watering down the road to Centeroo from pod 9. It left big puddles and mud my drunkass had to manuever around/through. So in hindsight, yeah, the dust sucked but it beats the hell out of mud.
