Well I know in past year that is what has happened. They just take the whoel cooler and sometimes  the cooler is found along the back fence line and sometimes it isn't. I rememebr when Bacardi's (I think it was Bacardi's) was taken, his was by his tent and ours were not even like 20 feet away under the pavilions and they took his and not ours. They tried to take Necro's that night as well, but he heard them and grunted and shook the tent and they scurried off. One year McShuggenah had a dog kennel brought up to camp and we put in under the big pavilion we used to rent and certain people had keys. All Coolers and other small items where put in there and nothing was taken that weekend. Due to space we never did that again though.

I have a 90 lb Retired German Shepard Police dog named OZ, my wife and I will be there next year, we can put all the booze and valuables in the kennel....I bet the little sob's wont get em.....

true except no pets are allowed at the campsight  >:( just like the peanuts cartoon..."NO DOGS ALLOWED"

I've been going for almost 15 years and not a year passes that I don't run into one dog during the weekend.
May your cup never be empty, and your tent always be upwind of the privy.

usually not big dogs though, and if they bark they will get removed sadly :-( I saw it happen last weekend next to us. Really awesome friendly dog but he couldnt go play with all the people so he'd bark and run around... they rolled up and told the folks to get out.

I keep all my things in my jeep. Sat night when I am back at camp, it goes in the tent with us. Andy locks his van up tight when he gets there and unloads. I try and park my jeep where I can see it from Brigadoon and Valhalla. I don't even put up with people standing near it lol. I've ran off a few punks who were just standing there.

I'd rather lock up my stuff in my husbands van for the night then chance something getting ripped off. It's really not that much extra to do. Besides me and my big mouth usually keeps people I dont know and the deviants away from my stuff. I've also yelled at people I see peeking into the other GPs! Whether the owners told them they could (which is the case sometimes) I don't know that, so I'd rather be branded a b*itch than having my friends belongings rifled through and stolen.

You... are our type of camper... Campers who aren't afraid to challenge someone and run them off if they don't belong there... Huzzah to you!

Aye, huzzah to you Brigaqueen! About 8 years ago I had several of my things stolen right out of Brigadoon's tent in the middle of the afternoon - one was my St. Arnold's beer hat that I was wearing while I was sleeping! I've had 3 wooden mugs stolen inside and playtrons camps, usually the same day I bought them. Now I sleep inside a locked SUV with the alarm on.

Around that same year, 2000 or '01, thieves hitched an entire tent, with garb and swords inside, to the back of their truck and drug it off on Monday morning before I could drive my friends to it from the employee campsite.

OMG I had no idea that happened to you, and in Brigadoon. I am so sorry  :(

Well Messyn, on a Monday morning I'm not to supprised, all the local scavengers come rolling into the camp ground and start taking every thing thats not packed up. I watched them last year on closing weekend picking up firewood, anything that was made of metal or anything they could get there hands on. Some one in a flatbed truck with a trailer was digging through the trash pile.

So I just thought I'd inform everyone that those folks that were setting up camp this evening were all asked to show their tickets before they could enter the campground. Just sayin'.

We absent-mindedly left a cooler outside of our tent on Saturday night opening weekend.  It was stolen in the night.  I wonder what the thieves thought when they opened it to find a few open packages of raw meat and no booze.  Hehe

Who was it that left a bottle chocolate liquor loaded with 3 boxes of chocolate exlax blended smooth in a 1/2 bottle.  It was stolen in the night by a bunch of silly little runts or was it runny little anyway, you get the idea.

That is a wonderful Idea. Though make sure you leave the bottle far away from the porta potties you plan on using that weekend.
