Every year, one of the biggest issues when it comes to scamming, theft and security is the loss of mobile phones around the Electric Picnic arena and campsites, so be alert

When people lose their phones they usually call their own number from a friend or family members' device in order to find it. This may be found by another festivalgoer or a member of An Garda Síochana. "If Garda answers your phone after finding it they will never ask for your password or code to access your device.
Do not be tempted to leave valuables in your vehicle. Empty the glove box and leave it open to show thieves nothing of value is inside. Remember where you parked your car. Car parks are clearly marked and identifiable.
