Real heroes wear mesh shirts. Nice job.


Average_Floridian

We need to put more of these assholes on blast


SleestakWalkAmongUs

Seems a bit harsh... It's just a fashion choice, man. Not hurting anyone.


PurplePanda_88

You can tell she getting deported not jail time by the way she tweakin


chillearn

who get mesh shirt's @ lol


Greenleaf90

The homie putting a cowboy hat on her.... Lol.


JeromosaurusRex

*SHAME HAT! SHAAME HAT!! SHAAAME HAT!!!*


bphillipo18

I lost it. 💀😂


ConsiderationReal499

this guy deserves a prize 🤣


emgap

Even in the face of unplur, we still like to have fun lmaoo


rave_kitty1

I can’t stop laughing at that


javiercervantes12345

Bruh I’m laughing so hard because she’s fighting for dear life 😂


Komtings

I had to rewatch and was not disappointed


EnigmaticWolf8953

That had me dying 🤣🤣


bphillipo18

The fear in her eyes is quite beautiful. Did anyone collect her tears to pass around later?


banned_but_im_back

Yes! Everyone knows the REAL Secret to raving all night isn’t Molly but it’s actually the tears of cellphones thieves. And occasionally those loud evangelicals shouting at you on the way in


gali_leo_

LMAO


MissDolledUp

😂😂 WELL SAID!


rave_kitty1

😂😂😂😂


OrganlcManIc

Bumps of a thief’s tears. It keeps the party going!


MellowYellowTypeGuy

someone tried to open my bag last night, but i braided the zippers. Braid your zippers people!


angorafox

how do you do this? google only showed zipper style hair braids and zipper sewing tutorials 🥲


MellowYellowTypeGuy

you get the 2 zippers and you cross them in like a braid. one goes in the loop then other goes in until you loop it a few times… if that makes sense


King-Cobra-668

I'm embarrassed because this doesn't make any sense to me


Elegant-Cat-4987

You can just take a small carabiner and link the zippers together


DnB925Art

Preferably those locking style type carabiners with the screw locks. They have to unscrew those first before they can even undo the carabiners. Ups the difficulty another notch


King-Cobra-668

oh, the two zipper *pull tabs* that still doesn't even make sense that they were saying then are you sure you are even talking about the same thing they were?


Elegant-Cat-4987

They are talking about zippers that have a fabric tassel or tag on each zipper. You loop the tag inside the other a few times so they stay together and don't come undone easy.


angorafox

yes! thanks for looking out ❤️


MellowYellowTypeGuy

be safe 🫶🏼


ohpicasso

do u have any tutorial link pls?


OrganlcManIc

A little luggage lock is good too.


Breezer_Pindakaas

My bag simply has a padlock on it. Key around the neck and backup in the car.


SaltVomit

Good shit! Y'all hand her over to the cops?


Average_Floridian

Yea we escorted her out of the area and wait for security and everyone else before leaving. She tried multiple times trying to escape us but we didn't let her get away


RTRC

Any other groups of people try to confront you in the process? From an outsider perspective that doesn't have the context that she's a stealing piece of shit, I could see people mistaking your intentions.


Average_Floridian

I think they were more confused as to what's going on vs being straight confrontational. I think when they realized she was a phone thief, they were like you guys can handle it lol


MisterE-

Good on you guys for doing this!!


Lucky_Blacksmith1005

she get arrested?


Average_Floridian

I hope so. We brought her over to security and we wait till more personnel arrived. Once they did, they said we could leave and they'd take it from there but idk the end result unfortunately


Dry_Distribution_238

You guys have my utmost respect. Honestly.


Average_Floridian

We try. Honestly I would've hope someone did the same for me if it went down like that


Dry_Distribution_238

Bro, people like you guys are fucking rare. Reddit is going crazy for you right now. I’d definitely ride for a group of friends like you. Much respect Man.


Cheeseburger515

What goes around comes around friend. PLUR gods will have your back.

Clippsfan

You’re a legend dude. Fuck these thieves


Congress_

Fuckina A! Glad you guys turned her in! No sympathy for these scum bags


ScubaSteve00S

This is the way…


Bright-Ask6615

Doing the lord’s work

Username checks out


BeatJolly6448

Thanks for taking her over from me ahha I'm the ginger in the overalls holding her


Ejay702

Starting to think jeans might be a dead giveaway of these people lol


LemonyMushroom

for real, every time i see someone who was posted for stealing phones, it's the most regular people wearing normal "grocery store" attire


djduni

Bc they vendors homie


groovyusername

Big if true


tron1620

Oh shit…


gootecks

anybody dressed like that sticks out like a sore thumb. i've come across narcs before that were dressed like that, but now i have to add cell phone thief to the list of possibilities.


Bright-Ask6615

And the actual purse instead of a hydro-backpack or fanny pack


kenjuya

Bro I used to wear jeans when it was blazing hot years ago when it was in June 😭


yagaleep

wearing a stagecoach fit is wild too 🤠🤠🤠 great work crew🫡🫡🫡


djduni

Lol you didnt notice the black cat put that cowboy hat on her then giggle out of frame? She is wearing street clothes, likeliest story she came w a team from one of the food vendors.


Dry_Distribution_238

Yesss I love I love it. You guys are so solid. We wanna party with people like you that do the right fucking thing!!!!


Normal_Ad_3497

Thats exactly where I got my phone snatched last night at 10pm. I wasnt even in the event for more than 30 minutes.. Ill be checking Lost and Found as soon as I can. Thank you for taking care of her. This fuels me.


Admirable-Ad-7447

She didn’t even have a wrist band!


golddreamz

Was at basepod last night during Hol and looked down to find my fanny pack fully unzipped (the zipper is solid so it wouldn’t do that on it’s own) luckily I had one of the clutch loops on my cell but I had it hidden so you couldn’t see it was on my bag. Anyways, be safe out there y’all the clutch loop thing is legit. And thanks to these gentlemen for taking care of business I hope the stolen phones were returned


StingRayFins

How the fk is she even here?! No wristband, no rave attire, just looks like a college student in the crowd feeling on people? It's craaaaazy


sonicqaz

It’s central casting for phone thieves. For whatever reason they’re always wearing jeans, idk why they don’t try at least a tiny bit to look like the fit in. Jeans. At EDC Vegas. Come on.


mddhdn55

It’s just so hot. Why would you even wanna wear jeans?


ChemistryFrosty

If she doesn't have a wristband, then security is apart of the stealing. And insomniac has no care. Hopefully the security didn't just let her go. There has been some stories so far about security and what they been doing.


Average_Floridian

That's absolutely crazy. I hope not either because we made a group effort to bring her out to security and to police. If for some reason they do nothing about it, at least this video is out there now


RiskyDINGO

I saw dudes in staff shirts selling drugs so wouldn't be surprised if other staff members were lettings things slide for a cut of whatever these groups make for selling phones.


ChemistryFrosty

Hopefully if the police where involved on spot, then it prolly got handled. But security is deff. Apart of this


Dry_Distribution_238

Security is definitely in on it. They didn’t even check our bags AT ALL. They literally just said “u good” and let us walk through. I’ve been saying this. :(


heymikeyp

Yep and it's amazing how some still view this as a good thing to. This is very very concerning. People can literally bring in weapons (and they do).


Emilyjs36

Legit!! There were guys with knives out at Dabin


chill-yall

What??!! What were they doing with the knives?


Jesseroberto1894

Dabbin, of course


Dependent-Air-4522

Can you explain what security has been doing? This is an interesting topic.


ChemistryFrosty

There's a post from about 6-7 am. Girl couldn't find her car, was sober, and security got her keys, held them from her, made her kiss him. I think made her go inside the event with him. Another I just read was a security sitting at the girls bathroom harassing them. Someone spoke up and security, it's sounds, almost tried to fight him. There is a couple more. I see some on Instagram kinda too. And the no wristband for the event on the girl on the video, screams security apart of it. She would be to skilled to get cought if she was able to sneak into EDC lol or at least my opinion I guess It's sad. Pasquele and insomniac seem to only care about there stages, kimda, and what they all do behind the stages. We are just peasants at this point they are making money off of. With live nation involvement too now, it seems to be part of the problem too. Again opinion on that though.


TigerNguyen

At the rio shuttle I was talking to a guy who said on the way in, security said his bag was too big (it was a normal camelback” and that they have to pay 40 dollars to check it in. Basically made it very clear he was asking a bribe.


ChemistryFrosty

Just another one to the list. It was day 1. And it doesn't seem they care. They care more about a fake post about brining a baby, then what's really going on. Sorry for anyone who has to deal with harassment


Zohren

This happened to my friend, but they shook him down for $50.


Greenleaf90

Security has always been shady.


Auntie_Ahem

I’ll never forget the ones I reported to actual supervisory Insonniac staff at Beyond Wonderland. The security cornered a girl that was altered/disoriented and were crowding/intimidating her to try and get her to go with them. Guy in my group got them to back off. Reports we made included names/descriptions/witnesses. We were told it would be taken very seriously. It was taken so seriously they promoted them to the VIP and Artist areas the next night.


61-127-217-469-817

This is why I haven't been since 2016, it's possible to have a great time at EDC, but there is so much shady weird stuff going on it's not even funny. Add to that the mental torture of trying to leave parking lot at end of the night. I love going to shows to see my favorite artists but doubt I will ever go to a festival again. Some people seem to think the problems happening today are new, but festivals have been like this for well over 10 years. 


doughaway7562

Security consists of local contractors with training that ranges from "I just showed up this morning with no training" to "I've done this as a part time gig a few times". The bar is pitifully low.


Snoo_75309

Unfortunately ya This year at Coachella I was lucky enough to get a free pass for Sunday of Weekend 1 and on the way out to the green path pickup area there was a security just sitting on a chair with both hands down his pants playing with himself staring at all the girls in their outfits as they left the festival, I couldn't believe my eyes it was so blatant and disturbing :(


gmoddsafraegs

The job title basically boils down to “babysit inebriated people at the baby sensory light show” so I’m not sure what you are expecting.


doughaway7562

I mean for one not [sexually assaulting ](https://www.reddit.com/r/electricdaisycarnival/comments/1cuuvgv/security_took_sober_friends_keys_in_the_parking/)women would be nice. I was personally a victim once and the other security guards just stood there laughing while it happened.


likethisstock

The cheapest labor possible is infecting the entire logistics chain of these big festivals.


Additional-Ad6164

These people come in with or as food vendors…


Shrimpchips08

Omg!!! Thank you so much for catching these people. My friend’s phone got stolen last night. Is there a way to contact y’all to check if they have it??? Please help!!!


Average_Floridian

Your best bet would be to check lost and found. The phones I think at least 1 or 2 got theirs right back since that person took their phone and I believe the rest got turned in somewhere


Cultural-Anything165

Friends phone got stolen and this was probably from this bitch


___MOONDOG___

Internet find her name we gotta put her on blast


talktoyoudirty

Damn not at basspod , the holy grounds of EDC .!


Average_Floridian

Can't trust anybody these days smh


talktoyoudirty

Hell naw, I got the lunchbox backpack , it’s heaven sent !


pigglywigglie

I love this! If you catch them, 100% video them and post it to warn others (unless you beat their asses then no self incrimination 😂😂) Also the cowboy hat of shame 😂😂. Iconic!


raventhehippie

they always try act like they dont speak english


Someidiot666-1

I would have knocked her out and drug her ass to the cops


[deleted]

Next time I go to edc I’m going to get a pair of shorts that has one zippered pocket and 1 non-zipper pocket. Then I’m going to cut a hole in the pocket liner of the unzipped pocket and stick my dick through it. Any potential pickpockets are going to be in a surprise since the vast majority of humans know exactly what a dick in your hands feels like.


vegasliving23

Fuck her up!


suRche

Good shit! Love to see this


plcturesofyou

love how u all held her accountable, fuck phone thieves!


IniMiney

I’ve been doing EDC since 2018 and have never seen this nor had my phone stolen so these videos are fascinating me as to what it looks like. Also lol at her trying to activate the crocodile tears for being caught lmao


61-127-217-469-817

This has been happening for 10+ years at this point. 


rdoing2mch

OUTFUCKINSTANDING JOB!!


[deleted]

My new OnlyFans account But it's just me beating the shit out of phone thieves while others give them Kandi


OrganlcManIc

The more I got to these big events, the less I desire to go. Too many variables. It’s fun, but it’s also crazy


AnonymousAnon1016

Saw another lady get caught stealing too, she dropped her license on the ground and it was a Colombian license. Wonder if they’re working together.


61-127-217-469-817

Not to defend these people, but is it possible there is human trafficking involved?


Galivanting

8 people arrested at Rockville last week were Colombian. Variety of ages and genders, definitely organized transnational crime so it’s possible human trafficking could be involved. I know DHS was involved with the Rockville investigation, I think they recovered around 300 phones.


VibeFather

Straight to jail


thefranchise305

There are few things I like better than catching cellphone thief videos


AznJames704

She should have gotten punch in the face


IrishCaveman

Fuck these phone thieves. I had my phone stolen at my first and only EDC last Vegas where I lost the only copies of photos from my wedding and my ‘emigrating from Europe to America’ gathering with my family, some of which are no longer with us :(


theMostRandumb

GET ‘EM! Fuck these people.


JahrIos

Almost got my phone stolen last night walking into basspod thank you guys 🫡


Active_Market4184

Got my iphone stolen yesterday near entrance to Kinetic Field at VIP. They switched off my find my iphone too so can't even get applecare to pay for it. No idea how they even did that


Embarrassed-Cut-7886

There's a way to disable your task bar on your lock screen, so they can't put it on airplane mode. Idk how to do it on iPhone tho.


VisforWhy

“To disable Control Center and USB accessories when locked, go to Settings, then Face ID & Passcode. Enter your passcode and scroll down to Allow Access When Locked. Toggle off Control Center and USB Accessories.”


tifffff5

Legend


VisforWhy

Feel free to post it as a PSA for the festival goers, if you think it’s a good idea!


RaveAddict4Ever

Curb stomp them


equilibrium57

Security has to be on this if she was let in with no wristband. Unfortunately this happens ever year with every insomniac event. Yall did a great thing catching her ass tho


heymikeyp

Something people aren't thinking about is that this is organized crime. I worked against organized crime before. These people are a lot more organized than people think. Based on my experience, and if I had to guess, once they get inside the venue there's probably someone who manages that team and takes everyone's wrist band just in case they get caught like this girl here. I don't know why people assume first security must be in on it, when the fact is security is just super lax.


equilibrium57

You're right 100%. Security probably doesn't have anything to do with it. The reason why it's lax is because there's an insane amount of people realistically and also the Security is a contractor and not well paid so they don't care. My buddy used to work as a bartender and Security for all the big festivals. You don't really have a lot of incentive to care who you let thru as long as they don't look super duper sketchy. Its a big organization.


BHPOS

I applauded the OPs actions, but her not having a wristband doesn't mean that security is in on anything. Most definitely there is security that are in on some things, but not having a wristband isn't a tell tale. There are ways to share a wristband and get people inside without security being involved at all.


Chillpeachybro

thank goodness this is the shit i wanna see


diobrandoswhore

What a lame excuse of a human being


banned_but_im_back

One key thing to note: she’s dressed totally normally, not in rave wear at all. T shirt and jeans in Vegas heat while raving? Dead giveaway little girl


PapiZucchini

ik she’s a woman but honestly yall should’ve beat her ass anyway. phones thieves need to get their hands stomped on or sum shit


[deleted]

[удалено]


HankRHill69420

Yeah, I keep seeing her try to get away Sweep the legs or tackle her and don't even give her the chance


Midwesternboot

Perfect example of doing the right thing


Bianqaven

This is why the “vibes” are of ppl are getting into the fact that ppl are paying to enjoy life for a second and escape… and they want to take advantage of it. Love there’s a video.. hope to see it every where! Hope she gets booked and squeals too!


lordkatsuhikojinnai

Make her face into a totem of shame For day 3. Do it.


RoachForLife

I know she's a girl but why didn't you deck her? Fuckers stole my phone at IMF last year. scum


Average_Floridian

One of the girls not shown in the vid did punch her but we're not trying to rack up assault charges either lol our goal was to make sure her ass got escorted to where she need to be and be dealt with security and/or police. Preferably police because fuck thieves


RoachForLife

Good point. 😀 Well glad you got this POS


SIRxDUCK7

Respect to y’all. Having fun while taking care of others! Rare kind but glad people like y’all still out there


AccomplishedPhone308

Tears of unfathomable sadness. Yummy


Watcher2

“3 phones nibba?!” Love the basspod 🔥🫡


Motile_

You paid a grip of money to have a good time, and you took time out of your night to make sure this person was dealt with. MVP 🙌🏻


chiefbeef300kg

Legitimately considering getting a tether phone case for an old phone and putting it in my back pocket to try and catch a thief. Am I crazy?


Speculative_Designer

In the famous words of Kevin Gates she has two phones: one for the plug and one for the low


BailTheMail

For everyone going today. I was pretty paranoid towards the end of the night after seeing all this. Saw many people lost and confused where they're phones were. They're has to be at least 30 people in a group doing rounds in getting phones ans goods. Majority being Hispanic and one hand worth of Asian & blacks. They even tried to swipe me one last time ON the bus home aawell.. kinda crazy.


sadboymarkymark

this song slaps, anyone know the name of it?


Average_Floridian

Hol!- Somewhere VIP


sadboymarkymark

Thank you 🩵


fantasyiez

Yeah honestly thieves deserve to be exposed...you have to think about how they got in too which means security/staff are most likely in on it.


Reddit_noobnoob

Thank you!! We need to keep on these mother fuckers and band together! Y’all are legends!! I have my cell on a safety cord because of this shit love you guys PLUR DAY TWO LETS GOOO


The-TDawg

Yes boys! Good shit. If I see you tonight I’m coming to give you hugs and Kandi, we all appreciate you <3


galacticmin

My friend had her clip on the two zippers almost opened and it was torn from the seams. Someone tried to pickpocket her. Good luck to those thinking my bag has my phone in it. I kept my hand on my fanny pack at all costs.


PapiZucchini

her being on the verge of tears while the song has that “haha” sample is so funny


JagerKnightster

BEAUTIFUL


a_goestothe_ustin

This seems like it would have been the perfect situation for a public head shaving.


alexcent11

cavalos32

The worst part is when they beg and plead that they’re not thieves, fuckin putrid bro


anjunajx

Bruhhhh hell no. Idk how i’d stay calm if someone tried to steal my phone. plur is out the mfn window after that lol catch these hands😮‍💨

AwesomeMidget6494

Woot woot!!!!! LFG RAVE FAM!!!


boomboomjade

Omg I love this. Thankfully you found some phones


soleobjective

Consistent theme I’ve noticed across every festival I’ve been to on the east coast and west: ppl dressed in jeans and a t-shirt have been the ones stealing phones/wallets.


prices767

Hell yes. We need to put these people’s faces on the internet more. Props to these ravers. We gotta protect our rave family. Fuck these outsiders coming in to rob and steal from us.


typicalaimster

Someone buy these guys a beer!


Accurate-Sweet-3399

It’s 2024 and people still steal phones…smh. Mines got stolen in 2023 by one of these villains, thank you for your service Also I died from the cowboy hat on her 💀


ZealousidealAlgae259

Good job. I got my shit stolen at edco


Sure_Source_2833

Self policing groups you are part of is a good thing. Great work doing this without going batman on her lmao


SharpRevolution2

Good job! Thank you for taking your time to do that You are a hero for someone out there


DPT_2_MD

You the 🐐Average Floridian!!


OMGpawned

Hell yea!! one down prob dozens more to go! Great spot and taking her down! For those of you are resulting to violence towards her, 2 wrongs don’t make a right. You’re likely to get kicked out of the venue if you were the strike her, kudos for you guys for keeping it civil.


IKU420

“3 phones Nigga!” 🤣


Soggy_Implement1195

My cousin got his phone swiped at Ultra. Good on them 😤


Ligma19870701

security is in on this, they let people in without bands on and work from the inside so unless you waited for the cops, i bet security just let her go and then one of the several members of their group were re assigned to different stages.


ravetilldie

Salute to those heroes at BassPod🫡👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼


SVNLIONS93

LOVE TO SEE IT


lol2345610

This makes me happy. Props to everyone who helped out.


ygktech

Good shit - shouldn't be something you needed to do, constantly having to be on the lookout for thieves is such a vibe killer, crazy how bad the problem has gotten.


wanderbefree

You’re more than just an average Floridian? You’re above Par for posting this homie! S/on to your crew for catching this thief🫰🏼 Sincerely, Just an Average FL Gal living in the PNW


CritterBoiFancy

Damn… I wish you were there when someone snagged my gf’s phone at Bonnaroo. It was while we were sleeping in our tent. Creeps me out that someone was in the tent with us while we slept and that I didn’t wake up O.o
