If you're talking about music festivals
seriously, don't. That just makes arseholes think there is something inside worth having, so they slash the back open instead.

In my defence
I don't padlock the outer skin, just the inside door. But yeah, it is pointless. Still, I've never been robbed at a Festival.

me neither, except for the aforementioned chairs.
Although I've always camped with so many people that there's usually someone about at all times, even when huge bands are on.

big groups in tent circles is usually the safest.
But all festivals have several "professional" thieves operating.

1)nick big tent
2)put up big tent on opposite side of campsite
3)spend the rest of weekend robbing other tents and dumping stuff in big tent
4)sort out valuables at the end and leave the rest behind, in said big tent.

not being robbed is almost certainly more luck than judgement, although not having anything to steal in the first place is a good start.

That's because no-one else
wants 15 blocks of catering lard and pair of XXXL y-fronts, Al.
