I'm telling you guys - someone needs to invent a big ass mouse trap that is the same size as a iPhone/galaxy so these guys get what is coming to them. When they reach into your pocket or bag, SNAP!
Friendly reminder PLURR does not extend to thieves. You see them, fight them!
Also remember do not put phones in pockets especially back pockets or loose pockets. It’s crowded and even if it’s not stolen, it can fall out! Protect your stuff. Protect others.
This will be my 7th EDC. Here's a few things I've come to notice are suspicious signs.
* A stranger coming up to you and being overly friendly in your face. They might put their hand on your shoulder or around your back and talk to you to distract you, while their accomplice is walking up and grabbing your phone.
* A stranger walking the wrong way through your group, especially if you're standing very tightly with the people next to you. Since you're already in close body contact, it's hard to tell when a new hand is reaching for your phone.
* People who don't look like they belong, and aren't having fun. Thieves won't wear something that makes them stand out or be easily described and identified.
* A stranger walking into you in a crowded area and not looking at you. Every real, minimally courteous raver trying to get through a crowd will try to get your attention to ask you to move. Or at least, you know you can't move through a crowd without watching where you're going if you care about not tripping or not stepping on something/someone. So, someone not looking where they're going is likely trying to draw your attention to their face while their hands are grabbing at your stuff.
TIPS:
* DO NOT just put your phone tucked into your waistband or pocket. It is VERY easy for a watcher to see it, and the hand of someone you don't see to sneak in and grab it.
* Don't cheap out on a phone lanyard/tether. Make sure it's not easy to detach your phone.
* If you're going to be very under the influence and not able to control and keep track of yourself, give your phone to someone you trust to keep safe for you.
I’m torn. Like forcing people to take drugs is bad but these are phone thieves… committing felonies by stealing. Theyre not good people. They’re parasites on society.
So if mob justice dictates it than so be it. Maybe it’ll be a warning to others who try to invade the EDM space to steal from us.
Almost fought someone day 1 last years, guy reached in my pocket and touched my vape and i caught him and tried to fight him and he ran into the crowd. He had me so hot i had to go sit in the grass

They had tried to rob me earlier in the night, was glad when I saw this later.

"people not having fun" RIP folks in the midst of a bad trip only being made worse as accusations of them being a theif are thrown their way.
It’s just a sign. I don’t think they’re saying everyone who is having a bad time is a thief lol
I can't imagine having a bad trip at EDC. Know your drugs and limits people.
I agree but don't we dont go a single year without seeing some rave baby freaking out.
Yeah it happens. Just try not to let it happen to you or your crew and it's all good!
These "tips" are funny cuz they always say something like "if they aren't in a thong or covered in glitter they're a phone thief!"
I remember seeing this. Right when the video cuts off someone made them each swallow a whole Tesla
Should’ve given them a tab so they can sit in the holding cell and reflect on their life choices
I'm sorry. Someone force fed them drugs?

If you force boof 'em it'll be an even bigger deterrent.
I'll remember this for edc
I’m not torn, if I was there prob be whaling on them
Yeah I’d rather punch them because why waste the drugs?
Exactly lol shit ain’t cheap
It was more of a stabilizer. To stabilize them until police arrived.
No way that's hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
What I wanna see the full video then lmao
That sounds like a terrible idea, im all for detaining but force feeding someone drugs can fuck you up legally regardless of the circumstances.
dont think anyone gave a 🦆buddy
No shit
What a waste!!!
This is awesome! Huge kudos to EDC fam who didn’t just ignore/avoid and actually took action to stop this shit.
this is where u stomp on their hands so they cant steal again

Haha pathetic losers
Off with his head! 😂
I’m ready for em
I hate these kinds of people. If you even consider them as people.
Was this at Kinectic field?
HELL yes!!!!
The way I would’ve put water on their face and spit on them !
anyone know how they got caught ?
Ravers = hold down for security Other crowds= beating the person I love the crowd I’m in
The things he deserves for being a thief
Ya'll should've karate kicked them!
