Who got robbed?

Glade Festival is Britain's biggest and best non-corporate electronic dance music festival, with a proper havin' it vibe. CANCELLED!

I lost my phone due to my iratic dancing in overkill, but thankfully a very kind and thoughtful young lady picked it up and called my last dialed number, which was my mate who was also at the fest, so it got returned to me.

I don't know whether you use this forum or not, but once again, thank you!!!

If only everyone were like her

Yup,

Everyone in my group (8 people) got robbed this year. Mostly they took stupid shit like chairs and booze and a gas stove. Most of the tents around us were robbed as well, with at least 5 people we spoke to losing wallets and phones. (We were camped on the hill directly up from Breaksday back from the road).

Some people in the tent next to us caught one of the robbers and tackled him and held him down, They then went to get the security people in the watchtower but had to wake them up because they were sleeping on the job!!!!!!!

A girl in our group had her bag stolen from her tent. It had cash, car keys, sunglasses and cards. She was more upset about teh car keys and sunglasses than anything else.

The bag was found by someone, minus cash, sunglasses broken, but with the cards and keys still there. The cards ahd already been cancelled by that point though.

It would have been major hassle if the keys had gone though. :panic:

I was at Bangface from Vibes & Livelee onwards to about halfway through Bong-Ra, then I left to go back to my tent, roll up and pick up some more Ouzo. Accidentally fell asleep, silly bastard. Ten minutes later some bloke opens my tent and shines a torch at me, I wake up and say something or other, he says something and fucks off. Took a minute for me to realise he was probably going to rob me. Cuntfaced bastard. It was a stroke of luck I came back at that exact time really.

Then went back to Overkill and raved it up some more.

(Edit: excuse the change of tense at the third sentence, then back again from the fourth onward.)

Its cos you know what you're doin mate. I'm pretty sure people went into our tent on the night everyone else in our camp got robbed but because of the state of it and the amount of random crap lying around they didn't find some of the valubles we had in their. Make sure your tents are a shitheap at all time people :-)

Harsh guys. There seems to have been more crime that before, but maybe then we have just not had a thread about it before :unsure:

I hope it didn't put too much of a downer on anyone's weekend that was robbed.
I have only ever been wrong once and that was this one time when I thought I was wrong, and then it turned out that I wasn't.

Dunno about that, Sly. It's hard to gauge on the basis of message board posts. I'll try to get some official stats on it.
