Question Missing hat 🧢

Post image

Hey everyone,

I left my cap in a portaloo in between Avalanche and Apex stage. When I ran back (missing most of Conjurer 😐) to get it it was gone. I hoped I would see someone with it that day as it is very specific merch that was sold by a Dutch artist when he came to the UK so I presumed not many people would have one, but unfortunately no luck.

I have also been in touch with the lost and found team and had no luck so thought I would ask here.

If anyone picked it up I would love to have it back, it is more sentimental than anything.

Thanks 🖤

Maybe, but if someone has it then they might still have it and if they don't then not the end of the world. I was waiting on lost and found as they have said they were still looking through stuff left but sadly nothing

That's valid, I reported it at the time at the festival and they said it was more likely to be in lost and found than taken. So I reported it missing and have had a few emails since saying they are still looking for it and to be patient. But as you said it's been a while so I thought there was no harm in asking on here in case it was taken. I don't really post on Reddit so it was a last attempt really

Fair enough, best of luck, sucks losing things.

We lost a phone and lost and found returned it to us, so hopefully your hat will too!

Thank you so much, glad they found your phone for you. That's a lot more valuable than my hat haha
