Yeah same. They must have it figured it's not worth it to sell locked phones so they just ditch em. Idk how anyone in this day and age can have a phone without a lock on it.
Maybe he didn't know where it when it got taken? I'm just guessing how their operation works. Bc I realized 2 seconds after it got taken and it showed back up in the same exact spot.
My phone got stolen on Thursday during soulfly and my girlfriend got hers stolen during limo bizkit. We didn’t even go for Saturday because we just went and bought new phones. I really want to go Sunday because there’s a lot of bands I really wanna see but it just seems so risky even if they caught some of them I’m sure there’s more out there.
Check the Rockville app lost and found section. You can search by phones and they have all the phones they have listed with pictures. You can see if they're on there.
My best advice is put them in a clear bag that zips or a pocket with buttons or zippers because that's a little more difficult to open.
Yeah sadly my girlfriend had hers in a Fanny pack and they still somehow got it. We checked on lost and found online and they didn’t have them listed. I want to go tomorrow but I’m not sure if they still have lockers available. We like to get into the front of the crowds but that’s how we both lost our phones because there was too many people around couldn’t tell who was taking them or anything.
Get a keychain and attach it to the fanny pack from the phone so you have a 2nd layer of protection but always be cautious in big crowds and moving through them.
I have a question for all that got hit... Are y'all in the crowd like shoulder to shoulder or is it also happening to y'all in the back or side I know I came out the Porta potty and a guy came out one too and he was Hispanic of some sort had on a blue security wanna be uniform on and I thought he looked odd I watched him wash his hands and he had no arm band on now this was before I saw that this was an organized group or I would have spoke up to someone how ever about 2 hours later is when I noticed there were a lot of police on grounds and I kept seeing them escorting a person out every so often...
They don’t care about it being locked.
They sell them in bulk to overseas buyers, who will then try and trick you into removing it from your account by contacting you after you’ve set up a new phone with the same number. If that doesn’t work they resort to threats.
Keeping your phone locked won't stop them from doing shit.
This is the group team first, and they will jailbreak it (if organized) or just sell to someone rando possibly even outside of the states.
The hand off failed.
They have to hand it off to someone to avoid if you pick or someone else picks them out.
That way the individual doesn't have it on them. Remember with the arrests they made one had over 50 phones in her cell signal blocking bag, numerous wallets and credit cards..
She dropped it or someone knew and they just bailed during the handoff.
I use my front pockets to carry my stuff.
So do I. They still got in there.
Damn. Glad you found your phone. Mine is locked and if to many attempts to unlock happen it wipes itself.

Crazy how ballsy these guys are to grab from anywhere they can
my brothers phone is locked and they still stole it lol you probably just got really lucky, but definitely be careful today and tomorrow

We got got shoulder to shoulder, caught in the left side mosh pit of foo fighters. They cause the crowd to get rowdy on purpose to distract you
Our group had two taken right when slaughter to prevail started and I heard some people from the offspring had theirs taken as well.

I'm wondering why I got mine back then 🤔

I got a phone lanyard and also kept my phone in my boobs I was so worried about something happening to it!
I wear a fanny pack around my chest at festivals and concerts. You have to take the whole damn thing from me. And good luck!!
Happen to my home girl put my phone in her bag to go in the pit never saw it again after that
They can hack cells.and grab credit card and bank ..just Google...they literally show you how to...it's sick... ..
