EDC Recovers More Than 1,700 Lost Items, Includes Phones, Bags, IDs, More
Electric Daisy Carnival, also known as EDC, recently subsided this past weekend. And many people are probably missing a phone, keys, wallet and other valuable items.
The Las Vegas Motor Speedway transformed into a field of people adorning candy-colored uniforms, electric colored hair and brightly colored fishnets from Friday to Sunday. It’s a spectacle, and it’s truly a weekend holiday in Las Vegas. But with the pulsating music and often use of substances comes a common consequence: lost items.
Lose Something? Virtual EDC Lost And Found Lists Hundreds Of IDs, Bags, Phones
According to the EDC Lost and Found page, the festival has returned 1,731 items and counting.
The virtual lost and found page has different categories of phones, IDs, keys, bank cards, backpacks, laptops, jewelry and more. You can search the page and claim an item, but you will have to fill out some information that most likely confirm if you’re the item’s correct owner. You can see the entire catalog of lost-and-found items by clicking here.
There are still many items that need to be claimed. However, EDC’s Lost-and-Found website states that ” all found property is currently in transit to the post event location. Lost and found operations are expected to resume on Tuesday May 28 with all shipments provided via shipment.”
Ways To Protect Your Items During EDC, Other Raves
One recommendation to protect yourself from losing a phone is to change you lock screen to a photo that contains your contact information. This way, people who find your phone — hopefully instead of stealing it — can contact you easily.
Be aware of people pickpocketing. This is a known problem with many music festivals. When you combine alcohol, subtances and loud music, it can create the perfect conditions to be swiped of a phone. If you’re in any crowded area, be sure to hold your phone instead of placing it in a fanny pack or clipping it to a belt.
It’s easy for pickpocket situations to occur if you’re not directly holding your phone. If you must place the phone in a fanny pack, just be sure to constantly check and to ensure your fanny pack is closed at all times.
