I bet there is very little stuff nicked from inside tents. Most of it is oppurtunist everyone i know that got stuff stolen was because it was left outside
It happens everywhere, people go out to listen to the bands for the day and then some planbk comes along and just unzips the tent, not rocket science really.
Mind you anyone who leaves anything of great value in there tent is a complete douche to be honest

Truth. I'm not great with personal belongings overall, let alone taking something like an expensive Mp3/Phone/whatever to a bloody 4/5 day music festival.
Last time I went to Reading I switched my crap nokia phone for my even older crapper nokia phone with my contract SIM in just so I didn't lose my crap phone!
Some kids either have more money than sense, pay a good deal for insurance or just don't realise the risks involved in taking expensive stuff to festivals/gigs/etc.
I mean, imagine actually taking a good phone like the Desire to a festival with no insurance and then losing it! You'd be gutted.

2 years ago half the tents in our campsite woke up to find holes cut in the sides of their tents and cash etc stolen. We noticed all the tents were models where there are pockets on the sides that people tend to keep things in one. One poor girl actually had her handbag that she was using as a pillow taken, no idea how she didnt wake up.
Worse though was this year, woken up in my tent by my friend banging on it to come out and find someone had set the neighbouring tent on fire. Maybe 10 cm's between a tent with me and my girlfriend sleeping in and another tent on fire.
Then maybe an hour later someone javelined a gazebo pole through a friends tent which then stuck in the ground next to him.
Will definately have to be a good lineup for me to go again.
Cheers, even more reason for me not to goto English Festivals now
I just hate the stuff that happens at them.I goto Germany every year and never once have we had trouble, mainly because if there is you get hog tied asap by security but you know!
Take my camera, passport and all sorts...My mate takes his £800 HD camera and leaves it in the tent every now and then
Indeed dude.....I dunno, I just don't lose things, mainly because i'm checking my pockets every two seconds
haha

Defiantely, think I'll be at Groezrock next year. Although I'll be playing at Skurvfest in a few weeks but that's a tiny festival.
What on earth is the point in a phone that doesn't come out with you?
The point is I have a smart phone and I use it when I want to/need to use it, do you need any more explanation than that?
I don't need a smart phone when I'm on a night out so I don't take it. It's not really hard to comprehend. When I'm on a night out, I don't usually get lost and need gps to get me back on track, I don't need access to facebook, I don't need to use any app's which are installed on my device, and I do not need any other feature which a smart phone offers.
So I'll ask again, why bother taking one out if you're only using it for txts/calls? The only reason I can see for taking it out is "oh look at me I have a smart phone so I'm cool". I have a £25 basic phone with a few £'s credit on, and 9 times out of 10 I never use it apart from checking the time.

As old as I may sound (26, not even old!) the teenage mentality that Reading has, became more and more apparent every year to me until I got to about 2/3 years ago and I just can't take the camping anymore.
Having the whole thing ruined on the last night due to mob mentality of some people isn't what I call fun and it leaves a lasting impression on your experience of the weekend.
I'd only go back to festivals now if the lineup was purely epic for my personal taste and on the proviso that I would have a hotel room for 3 nights so I don't have to camp with everyone and put up with disgusting facilities.
I also have the fear of checking pockets every 2 seconds Delvis and it sometimes doesn't work. I'd rather not have them at all and not have to worry about it.
OP, what's the score on the iPhone? Has there been anything arranged in terms of delivery/collection/reward?

This gets better.
The girl rings up our home phone (I gave it her Uncle last night) and tells my youngest she is going to come fetch it from Runcorn.
She arrives and tells my youngest that she was going to buy her a bottle of vodka but went inside Bargain Booze and realised she'd got no money so she'll send her something in the post.
She thanks her, turns around and then says that she hasn't got enough money for petrol to get her home so my idiot daughter lends her £10
Why didn't I just press the button?

She might not know her own number, and not have any of her friends numbers written down, all stored in the phone, and has to wait to get back to school to ask someone her own number.
Madder things have happened.
I'd certainly be following up on an iphone as a much higher rate!
I've not had that problem, it find my phone quickly and easily.
It was more so in relation to that on mobile me, you can lock and display a message on the phone.
"Hey please return to XXXX or phone XXXX.
Thanks XXXX"
Kind of thing
