As the thumping bass of the Electric Daisy Carnival resonates through Orlando, it's not just the beats that attendees should keep close but also their phones. The Orlando Police Department has issued a stern reminder for those engrossed in the festivities to "keep a close eye on your phone while at EDC Orlando!" having seen the disruptive string of phone thefts at events in the past, according to West Orlando News.
Orlando Police outlined some clear measures to curb the anxiety of lost communications. Should your phone go missing during the electronic dance music extravaganza, a simple check of its location is the first order of business. If it's pinging back from Camping World Stadium or the Orlando Police Department, hope is not lost, and the lost and found beckon.
However, for those unfortunate enough not to find their phones in the lost and found, the police suggest a more active approach. "If your phone's not in lost and found, try to call it until someone from EDC or the Orlando Police Department potentially finds it and picks it up," ClickOrlando reported.
If your phone is lost and turned off or is outside the festival area, you should file a police report. West Orlando News recommends filing this report at orlando.gov/police or the OPD app.
