How safe do you guys feel it is to leave instruments in a tent? Has anyone has ever heard of instruments being stolen in the past?

I haven't heard of any instrument thefts. Flower
Any kind of theft is extremely rare during the bluegrass festival.
There have been reports of booze being stolen, but that's about it.
Most people won't attempt to enter a closed up tent for fear that there's someone inside. Wink

I have only heard rumors of coolers of alcohol missing the week prior to PB taking over,  After that it's just us TP folks hanging out.  I have always tented it and had no problems. Well there was that chipmunk that kept trying to get into the dry storage bin. There cute but darn pesky.

I put my guitar in my sleeping bag inside the tent to protect it from heat.  It also keeps it out of sight if someone did look inside my tent but I don't really worry about that.  We have a pretty busy camp with people coming and going all day and we generally have some of the same neighbors year after year so I have always felt pretty safe leaving my stuff around.
