After an hour of searching, we recovered stolen items from a known thief from Columbus.

After Maddy O'Neal finished her late night set, we returned to the spot we had been all weekend to discover everything we brought in (totally easily over $1k in value) missing. We contacted our crew and once we realized no one had our belongings, we went out from the Portal Stage to search.

We found our cart outside a random tent near the Woods Stage where a lot of miscellaneous things were dumped in a pile beside it. Inside said tent, there was all the expensive items specifically separated and hidden under a blanket in an otherwise empty tent.

We alerted a security guard to the situation to be on the look out for the individual responsible. While talking with them, the theif walked up and tried to claim it was all his. Then after we called him out he said only one backpack was his and he "ground scored" all our belongings by the Portal Stage.

There were several people in the area at the time we were watching the Maddy O'Neal set and many other wagons / chairs, etc in the vicinity.

He kept up the story it was just a groundscore and it was all a misunderstanding. Clearly this dude had been intentionally stealing all weekend and stashing it in a tent before moving it to a second location.

He also had stolen pinboards and other items that he stashed in one of our back packs.

Security arrived and as of this morning we were told he had been taken care of only to find out after the fact that he had just been released at the BP directly across from the venue and immediately located near GA camping.

I'm including pictures and screen shots for more details. This person is a dangerous individual who is clearly unstable and needs help beyond anything short of a medical professional can provide.

He had multiple knives on him that were confiscated by LCS, and has since threatened to use firearms and knives to harm people.

If anyone has any more information that can potentially help, please contact me directly.
