And update on RR#1 robbed overnight at Leeds Fest

Him n his mates had all their cash taken while they were sleeping. No cards, no phone just untraceable cash... what a feckin awful day

 

Always used to have my wallet with me in sleeping bag when I went to Reading.

 

Yeah well... you cant tell em owt

been tempted to refuse to sub him... havent like

 

Why did he take credit cards to a place where he cannot draw out money ? Terrible what happened and hopefully the Barstewards will get caught somehow. The world is getting worse for people stealing and hurting others.

 

How come he's there so early?

It used to be a Thursday start didn't it???

 

Scousers?

 

Doubtless.

 

Early bird tickets

so you can set up camp on Wednesday

 

Search me... actually there is a bus service from

festival to tesco's!!!!

 

Festival season is when they get "their business" done.

I suspect the spending in the shops late August early September goes through the roof in Scouserville.

 

Really Unfortunate

Been to a lot of festivals and never had it happen. Is he in the yellow campsite ? If he is he should move out to green, lot better crowd out there. Can still enjoy teh schenanegans in yellow but have everything nice and safe.

Would advise him to sleep with his cash, phone etc and keep the tent looking messy so that it's hard for anyone to find anything, mad but works.

 

RE: Really Unfortunate

No idea where he is he's on earlybird camping area. Doubt his temt is owt but messy. TBH he was pissed and slept through someone in his tent going thru his stuff... serve him reyt in one way.

Not happy tho

 

RE: Really Unfortunate

ask him if he realises he has probably been dry arse raped too.

 

You can camp anywhere on early bird I think ...

... but he's probably in Yellow, gets well rough as teh weekedn goes on, he will have no probs moving if he can be bothered and it might be more than worthwhile.

 

Now then son....

....how was your arse this morning?

 

RE: You can camp anywhere on early bird I think ...

yeah u can tent anywhere with earlybird..just allows you to get a good spot..i always sleep with my money phone card etc in my pocket..only things i take that are valuble..there are cash machines at the festival btw

 

You'll believe owt you ...

He spent it on booze and women and and is telling you he was robbed ... oldest trick in the book!!

 

That happened to me at the Reading Festival in 1995

And proper sick I felt about it.

It isn't at all nice to think of some stranger picking through your stuff as you sleep - I had trouble sleeping for the remainder of the gig, particularly as I was the only person in a tent by themselves.

It's amazingly common, and you do need to sleep with your money, watch, phone etc. at the bottom of your sleeping bag. I made it easy for them, emptying my pocket into a pile at the foot of my bed - pure naivety. Like so many of life's lessons, learned the hard way!!

Never mind, tell him, it isn't like anyone was hurt or anything, just write it off to experience (though if you have money cover on your household policy you may well have a claim, remember).

 

I've just dropped my son and daughter and mates off there !!!!

 

Don't worry.

Money can be replaced.
It's not nice to be robbed ... but it's not the end of the world.

I'd be worried if your daughter turns up on Monday with her hair full of matted student spoff & your son is walking like the Tongan National Rugby Team have been through him.
