I mean no disrespect, bu when I go to conventions/festivals, my phone stays ON MY BODY at all times. Phone, camera, ID, cash - that's all i have, and it's all securely attached to my person. Since I was 16 I've always had a smartphone(Sidekick 3, then Sidekick ls, then Sidekick 09, then MyTouch, then Galaxy sII) as well as a super nice camera, and I would NEVER EVER EVER leave them far away from me in public, even at the tiny venue I worked at where I knew no one would steal from me. It just seems irresponsible to bring your purse to a convention like that. yeah you have to pay money to get in but that doesn't mean total fucking creeps won't be there. So, I'm sorry it's been stolen but I think she should take it as a learning experiance. plus, didn't this happen a week ago? Just buy a new phone and move on. It's probably already been harvested for pictures and sold to a pawn shop in Mexico by now.
