She said she went to security to report it "immediately," and they walked her over to the lost and found office. There, an attendee was waiting behind her in line to report another phone theft. He told her that his phone had been stolen straight out of his pocket. The group also noted that while the event was "busy" they were careful to make sure the venue was not over-capacity. Still, space was tight in some areas, with many people moving about packed closely together.
She's now out about $1,200 for the phone, which was not insured, as well as the irreplaceable photos.
