Oh sorry wrong tent!

[HurrahBrother]

If they want to steal my smelly socks and dirty keks than by all means. I hope this year my tent will be unusual enough to avoid genuine "wrong tent" mistakes.

yea, dont take valuables, no iphones/blackberrys ..asking for trouble9-

but some of them nick alcohol too, not good, massive pain

i was thinking, most tents have 2 zips on the door right? you could attach a rape alarm to one zip and the string to the other... it would make a whole lot of noise should your tent be targeted but it will make thiefs disappear quick smart

would that work? if so does sound like a plan..just have to remember to do it everytime you leave your tent & before you catch some zzzzs

Does seem some rather aggressive posts in this thread! True, the thieves are scum, but people do make genuine mistakes as has been pointed out. Last year at Download I boldly strolled into someones circle of camping chairs under their gazebo, parked my arse, and got very confused when they started asking me what the f**k I was doing. When my vision focussed a bit I realised I was very near to our similar looking circle of camping chairs and gazebo set-up. But, not ours, total strangers! I left sheepishly.

We always use the lockers at Download, never have at Glastonbury but i'm stating to get tempted, particularly if its free. But, my phone cost £15 (i'm in the stone age as mobiles go), i won't be taking my ipod or camera, so its only really cash i need to worry about, and my wallet ALWAYS, no matter how wrecked i am, manages to go in my sleeping bag with me...

Before everyone gets completely carried away and forms a full blown piss bottle wielding vigilante mob, just remember that it is perfectly possible to genuinely end up at the wrong tent. I've done it myself.
