Apparently it was someone in a pinstriped hat.
At closing ceremonies someone asked if I had seen them.

A friend of mine got her bag and money stolen by a hobo and he tried to sell it back to her because he didn't know it was hers, but I think he might have gotten arrested.

Man, it's really terrible when stuff like this happens. I like to think we're all part of a community or family if you will, so it annoys me to no end when something like this occurs. I hope you find your stuff.

*seething with anger*

Sugarlat · « **Reply #10 on:** September 02, 2008, 03:29:40 pm »

Did they ever catch that guy?
We went around warning everyone after we'd heard.
We were actually scared to put down our stuff after that...
I hope you can get your stuff back, we cleaned up after the con but we never saw him..
Pisses me off that someone would do that

I'm not surprised but I am glad that there were arrests made at the convention and those thieves didn't just get away with it.

If you are missing something, make sure to mention it on the Lost and Found thread in General Discussion.

Come to think of it... maybe this thread should have been posted there.

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #12 on:** September 02, 2008, 05:12:59 pm »

yeah man i just want it back mainly to get my parents to stop yelling at me and putting me down about it being taken.

It really sucks that things like this happen, but to be honest I'm actually surprised the thieving didn't happen sooner. Unfortunately it was probably inevitable that something like this would happen.

You really have to be careful with your things. Never, ever, put something down, even if you're posing for a picture. It's just not worth the risk. If you do, put it down right behind you, or just hold it behind you so it can't be seen in the photo.
When I posed for pictures I'd simply set my bags right behind me so I could easily whip around and grab them if needed. My wallet was tucked away inside my front pocket, my camera was strapped to my belt, my cane was secured around my wrist at all times or was right in front of me... You have to take every precaution you can. It's unfortunate that you have to, but you must.

But I hope all of the items that were taken are found, and I hope whoever stole the items gets what's coming to them.

more advice, keep no more then 60$ on you, there are atms and checkings accounts are free, there's a 3$ charge but thats not too bad.
and yea pin stripe, im assuming that badge he was seen with was also stolen too which makes me sad =( because i got a few trinkets stolen out of my backpack in the karaoke room, nothing major but still ='( and yes the reason why it doesnt happen sooner is becuse people are more precautious during that time, it happens alot during end day because people check out and carry their stuff with them i.e laptops and such, and are more tired with minds set on other things, the last day is always the day to be extremely careful

GinKyubiKitsune · « **Reply #15 on:** September 03, 2008, 05:07:16 pm »

yeah i know well though i'm happy right now it's been found and is save though just lost the black bag and a ds is all.. the rest of the stuff is safely back home.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #16 on:** September 03, 2008, 10:22:58 pm »

I'm glad you were able to get the stuff back -_- what a jerk

NeonFoxRocks · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2008, 02:35:27 pm »

lol how did you randomly find it on the other side of portland?

misamisa · « **Reply #18 on:** September 09, 2008, 01:40:39 am »

Wow, I'm so glad you guys got (most of) your stuff back.
I read this thread and honestly thought, "that really sucks, they'll probably never see that stuff again. T_T)

You guys are really fortunate!

It's unfortunate, but people really need to guard their stuff closely during the con! I never bring anything more valuable than a camera to the con. And the camera & my wallet are with me 24/7, I even bring them with me when I use the bathroom in my hotel room. (I won't even trust roomies 100%. ^^;)
