Phone stolen at Warped Tour LB? Crowdsourcing info
Hi everyone. I recently attended OutsideLands and got my phone stolen. It seems to be part of a large organized system where the phones all end up in LA, at the same address/area, and I even found some people from Warped Tour who also had their phones stolen and ending up in the same LA addresses. LAPD has been helpful in trying to track down these thieves, but they can't do anything without SFPD initiating an investigation (and I cannot contact them).
Here are some articles with more details: SF standard, SF Chronicle
If you were affected, please file a police report online if you haven't. Also, please DM me with addresses/times/screenshots that we (a group of us with stolen phones at OSL who are trying to crowdsource info) are compiling to send to law enforcement. Hopefully, Long Beach can also initiate its own investigation and work with LAPD, since we have yet to hear from SFPD.
I know my phone is a lost cause, but I'm hoping we can at least track down these thieves. They're definitely targeting these large festivals and doing mass shipping to send them to China. It's the type of crime where no one is harmed, but so many people are affected, and it shouldn't be that way (i've been victim-blamed enough for this). Thanks.
