With seven incredible days of events, the city of Rock had at least 214 cell phone thefts at Rock in Rio, but the number could be even higher, considering that on September 13 and 14, 2024, there were 5 missing to count the number. The survey by the consumer affairs department, together with the civil police, made an internal service available on the first day and 41 cell phone thefts were recorded. On the second day of the event, 78 were recorded remotely and 95 at the festival itself. The balance with the total number of the seven days has not yet been released by the civil police.
On the 13th, 14th and 15th, a fan, Leonardo Augusto Garcez, 34, was enjoying the shows on his second day of the festival when, during the Incubus band's performance on the Sunset Stage, he was pushed by people and had his shorts pulled during the confusion. Leonardo comments that “When I managed to balance myself and put my hand in my pocket, I saw that they had taken my cell phone. And my pocket has a zipper! I came with these shorts just in case, but it didn't help..” said Leonardo. Other people, like the sales manager, who came from São Paulo to enjoy the show on Saturday and Sunday, commented that they enjoyed the other editions, but left this one unsatisfied. “They don't search me at the entrance. I even went in with a backpack, a rolled-up sarong and other items. They didn't look at me or use a metal detector on my backpack or on my friends. If I had a gun or knife in my sarong, for example, they would only know if I did something to someone in here. And apparently there are a lot of people who have also been harmed.”comments the São Paulo native, who was only able to report the theft using his mother's address, who lives in Rio.
