Shirt Snatcher (heads up at show)

edited May 2010 in The Porch
Last night in KC there was some jerk that got down on the floor and during the opening band and bathroom runs he wanders around taking shirts from seat or the backs of chairs.

I had gone to the restroom and left my shirt in the space between seats next to my wife. He just shows up and stands at my seat to "watch" Band of Horses (I was in row 5). Later we noticed my shirt was gone. The guy next to my saw him pulling up shirts hung over chairs behind people.

When I confronted him about taking my shirt he just showed me the 3 he had on him, like they weren't mine because he probably dropped mine off with his partner in crime... If he didn't take them he would have asked me what the hell I was talking about.

The guy was about 6'2", thick glasses, in his 40s, and looks like the type of dipshit that would wander around a concert stealing merch.

He was reported to security and at least kicked off the floor.

    Its a shame that sort of thing goes on at a PJ show.

    Reminds me of going to bobble head night at Yankee Stadium a few years back and seeing roving groups of people doing the same thing with bobble heads that were meant for kids.

    Wow thats fucked up, I saw that guy carrying about 6 tubes at one point. Also there were not any sports themed shirts at the KC show last night, plenty of 2010 tour shirts though.

    Cheers

    This does suck, but...why would people leave their shirts on their seats?
  • JOEJOEJOEJOEJOEJOE Posts: 10,483
    Besides the obvious legal and moral implications, why would someone subject themselves to the wrath of a revved-up concert goer for a $35 shirt?

    My shirt was in the seat next to my wife. She was likely talking to the girl next to her when he swiped it. We were 5th row, amonst fellow pj fans, didn't expect a jerk to pull that.

    That sucks. My son's shirt was stolen at the L.A. Gibson show, night 1.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    Sucks this has happened to so many punters.

    For future shows I recommend wearing a belt on your jeans/shorts and then you can feed the shirt (or multiple shirts) through the belt and always have it on your person.
    Has been really handy in moshpits where you don't want to carry it in your hands and wearing an additional shirt/s over the top of what you've got on is not an option.

    people suck.

    im sorry this happened to you. i would put the shirt in my purse and always have it on me. maybe have your girlfriend do the same? hopefully it won't happen to you again
