My tailgating screwup or not?

[ClonesFTW]

Exact same thing happened to us in the Haunted Forest lots for the Iowa game. Every drop of alcohol (beer and liquor) was stolen by the time we got back.

The previous game (Kansas) we had a variety of things stolen during the evening. A neighbor's cooler was taken and all of our beer in our cooler was stolen. Next time I'm putting an angry rabid raccoon inside the cooler.

I left my 96 GeoMetro unlocked with the keys in the ignition and no one took it.

My brother found someone had swiped a couple of beers and a half-smoked cigar when we came out a game last year. The cigar shocked me. It was just a cheap cigar too.

I've left coolers out before, but never anything valuable. My biggest worry is the generator. That's pricey and has a carrying handle... it gets locked up.

I had beer stolen and my folks an isu chair stolen from the back of my truck about 10 years ago. Since then i lock everything up.

I had my electric bicycle stolen while in the donor RV lots. I always had it locked up with a padlock and security cable but forgot this one time. I had the key so it would have had to have been pedaled away. Filed a report with campus police. A student had it in his Maple dorm room and claimed he had found it abandoned in a field. Got the bicycle back but was missing parts.

Some bastard stole all the beer from my cooler last game too!

I found out later I was drunk and drank them all

As we finished up pregame tailgating on Saturday and prepared to enter Jack Trice, I decided to not lock up my cooler in the car. Instead, I left it in the tailgating tent, towards the back where it wasn't very visible.

I came out at halftime to enjoy a couple cold ones, and found that my 16 remaining bottles of beer were gone, except for one untouched Michelob Golden Draft Light lying on the bed of ice as a kind of offering.

My question: Was I naive in assuming that other thirsty tailgaters wouldn't immediately sprint to my cooler as soon as I was out of sight?

The answer is yes. The world is full of a-holes.

My guess, Pinocchio.

The main reason I purchased an ambulance for tailgating is due to a full cooler plucked out of the back of my buddies truck. Took all the coors light and a bottle of 3 year old blackberry brandy (not that I was too worried about the brandy but was mad I had to go and buy a new cooler). Now I can lock everything up pretty easily before going into the game.

Well.......that seems cost effective

If it was Bush Light my son and his friends are pretty damn fast at shot gunning beers. JK.

We always put the liquor and beer away. My wife fell asleep in our canopy one game and we left her there just put the sides up and anchored the sides down. We came back and she was still there.

For awhile, I thought I had found a way to....................

Lock it up. Not proud of it but one of my first tailgates freshman year I was with a group of friends and one of them grabbed a few bottles of Captain from a cooler that was in the back of a truck that was left unattended after the game.


I later got written up in the dorms because of drinking too much captain. Karma is a *****.

But did they climb into the back of your truck to take a whiz? Oh wait, that was CW's story.

I had the same thing happen at the UNI game this year. Cooler was strapped down in the back of the pickup but the lid could still open. The only thing that was left was a half empty ketchup bottle.

 

[DrClone]

I think this would be the case around non-collegians, too. If there were vets around, that booze is gone, or probably just anyone that's thirsty for beer.

Why are you picking on veterinarians?

 

[CycloneErik]

Cuz we has a vet school. Duh.

 

[bozclone]

It is amazing what some good people will after a few too many drinks. Now add the opportunity to obtain more alcohol. Yeah, I would say some drunk ******* stole your beer.

Some people are just bad drunks.
