gee barry thanks for letting us know

No problem.
Tomorrow I'll share my story about being confronted by two gun toting
badgers in a Kroger parking lot.
I was once attacked by a wild beaver. It was touch and go for a while but
I finally licked it.

Default Public Service Announcement for Daytona Ticket Holders - 02-02-2004 , 08:08 PM






I was sitting in a lower section on the frontstretch when Ward Burton won
the Daytona 500. I had my 'bag o goodies' (cameras, souveniers, etc)
between my feet.
At one point during the race, I felt my gearbag move. I looked down beneath
the bleachers and caught a glimpse of a dungboy using something I can only
describe as a 'pole and hook' device, trying to snag my bag out from under
me. Luckily, it was wedged between my feet and I was able to grab it before
the excrement in human form managed to steal it.
Of course, by the time I waded through the crowd and got downstairs, he was
long gone.
I've been hanging out in the nosebleed section ever since...
So, if you're sitting low, watch yer stuff.

Barry

I was thinking more along the lines of something that involved a zipper.

You and Gerg have good ideas, wish I would have thought about it at the
time...
I'm curious as to whether this sort of thing happens with any frequency at
other tracks around the country.

Kind of a 1-2 punch.

What section was it?

All the sections I've seen had a wood backing (where old seats had been
stuck on wood bleachers, I'm assuming)...there's no way to get anything
under there...

Of course, I haven't been in the Campbell section...

Absolutely. I see people dumping coolers all the time. LOL! J/K It makes for
a mess for anyone trying to get out through the bottom/back of the
grandstands (which is pretty mcu everyone).

I've never had anyone try to lift my camera bag, but I could see it
happening. Surely there willl be thugs in groups of 50k+ people, and
certainly more than one or two in a crowd of 100k+.
