We had nothing stolen, either. We were up on the hill in R2D2 near the fence by 6th ave. We left everything out, the keys in the car with the back of the station wagon in the up position most of the time. I kept my small purse on me except when I slept, then beside me in the covers. We had 4 coolers and I never noticed anything missing.
A couple of times I saw some shady looking characters in our neighborhood, but they knew I was watching them like a hawk, so they moved on. I tended to be in camp late at night when others were at shows, but I was in the tent, out of sight for the most part.
I didn't hear any of our immediate neighbors missing anything.
The worst thing that I heard of was the guy who went to the porta and left his wheelchair outside. It was stolen, and I think I read on here that when folks were leaving there was a good new looking wheelchair left in a field. I'll bet that is the one that was stolen. Some scum bags must have stolen it to get close up at the shows where they have the handicap areas.

I figured it was the older one that you fell in love with. You being an 80's girl like me. I had a preference for the Fiero

This sounds really shallow - I dated a guy just because he had a Fiero - LOL
OH my GOd Mariposa that's awful...I was just on Cedar Bluff 5 minutes ago getting lunch....where abouts did this happen? Things like this aren't supposed to happen on the West side
The corner of Cedar Bluff and N. Peters Rd... The office bldg parking lot.
My husband and I were talking about the whole West thing... People out there are always worried about living/working downtown b/c of theft, etc. We lived downtown for 3 yrs, we've both worked downtown (and I still do), and NEVER did we have a problem. Seems like the 'safe' (primarily white & rich) side of town isn't so great after all...
When we filed the police report we found out that there have been about a dozen of these cases in the Cedar Bluff area in the last couple weeks... Apparently West Side Auto had ten cars in a row that were hit. Nice to know it wasn't personal and just regular old junkie-theft or whatever... but that still doesn't cover my deductible.

I am sooo sorry to hear this. I worked at the Applebee's across the street all through college....hope it all works out for you guys...and I also hope they find these people that are causing all this trouble...
well I saw shady guys but they are looking for easy finds mostly. I didn't get anything stolen, but I was semi-smart with locking up. They are looking for the easy finds...both in stealing and distance.....so just think about it and logically lock your shit up....but yeah...logic at bonnaroo is hard to come by sometimes...

Oh there was tons of worthless junk... some of dangerously fake if ya know what I'm sayin. A real quick tip I picked up is if they don't have a wristband, don't buy - from what I could tell that seperated out 90% of the shady types selling fakies.

I've had bogus junk in past Roos, but everything this year was spot on. I guess that's why I'm having a hard time believing that this year was worse than others for that sort of thing. As Mindexpansion said, It's all in how you read people. If they look shady, and act shady, they probably are shady.

Definitely... it can be a little disorienting to come into a big festival where you expect everyone to be super cool and on the up and up, but I quickly realized there were definitely those who were there for only business. Along with the wristband thing... if they are in a big hurry and acting super paranoid or wanting to see your money and get out of there quick - tell them no thanks. They are more scared of you calling them out then they are of any security/police that may be in the area.

That reminds me of a guy that came by our tent one night selling tie dyes. He asked if we wanted one, we said no. Then he went beside our tent (which was beside the road) and kept yelling out "TIE-DYES" repeatedly. Some people walked over, asked how much they were, he said $10, then another girl asked how much, he said $5, then he changed it back to $10. They all declined his offer and exchange words I couldn't hear. The next thing I see is him running like a mad man back into the tent area. I wondered what was going on...then the mounties go by. Ahh ha!

Nothing stolen for us....
And our Cadillac (borrowed, wish it was mine!) wouldn't lock so we had to leave it unlocked in BFE with food and other misc. supplies, till we could drag it all to tent only. Plus the trunk wouldn't close so it was propped open a bit. Man, looking back we were pretty damn lucky not to have anything stolen! Just kinda thought positively. Nothing that was in there was irreplaceable anyways.
