Here again, the king of losing phones. Second time losing my phone on the Playa. For those of you wondering how long it will take to hear back from lost & found...it could take another month. I've been down this road once.

I located this phone in the lost & found catalog.

I lost a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone in the temple (I think) Friday night. The phone has a black case with a short band hanging from the bottom right corner. The phone background is a black and white photo of two huskies sitting on a sac. If you have it please let me know. I have so many memories...

Hi, Today I tracked my phone to a street in Oakland, not San Francisco. Is it possible that the items are being housed there instead? Thanks! I hate to give you this piece of news, and I hope that you find your phone. Last year, I lost my phone on the Playa, and 4-5 days after the burn it turned up...

I have a flight out of Reno airport on Sunday at noon. A friend was supposed to give me a ride but his circumstances have changed and he needs to stay an extra day. I would greatly appreciate a ride to the Reno airport early Sunday morning if anyone is headed that way. I only have a small bag. Would...

Hello Burnorburn, I have a ticket for sale at face value with one VP + shipping. Must take both. Let me know ASAP if you want them (also posted in ticket discussion). P.S.: I agree with your assessment about drop-outs and camps. Hi there! Thank you. I was able to secure tickets through the omg sale...

This year will be my second burn and I am excited about returning to the Playa. However, like many, I couldn't secure a ticket during the main sale and have been scouting for one since. One thing that I noticed in the past few weeks is that too many of my close friends, who are veteran burners and h...

This is the first year we are applying for a theme camp placement. I understand that placement is not guaranteed, but we still want to plan the camp setup as if our application were approved. I am wondering if there are any camps out there who have decided to not return to Playa for whatever reason ...

Get a hexayurt and an AC if you can afford it. Of course, you will also need a generator or solar panels. Swamp cooler and figjams are other cooling options. Trust me, you really need a cooling solution. No you really don’t. These things are nice and comfortable, enviable even, but do you also have...

My trusty Coleman tent only had 4 Burns in it, and has gone on to the great Walmart in the sky. Coleman no longer makes it. I'm looking for a large-ish (10'X10'? 12'X9'?) tent that can fit within a 12' wide Monkey Hut with either no windows, or at least windows that can be zipped closed. Any sugges...

Looks like I will be in line with everyone else on opening day. I've heard if you arrive too early, you get sent to a secret waiting area, it is a bad place, and you do not want to be there. Realistically though, at what time should a person plan on arriving? That would be D-lot and it's not so sec...

I reached some closure today after I received a response from the L&F: my phone seems to be lost (or stolen/damaged) forever. I was hoping that the L&F catalog is not quite updated yet. Unfortunately, what you see online is what they have. There aren't any more items pending upload to the catalog. N...

I got an email on Saturday saying a parcel from Burning Man had been dispatched to me. It arrived today and I'm in Ireland. Hopefully the rest of you have received your items or will be very soon I'd think :) Was your lost item listed on the burningman.org catalog? If not, did you contact them with...

My phone’s location was updated to La Playa St in SF yesterday. I’m hopeful this location is associated with L&F although I’m continuing to check the L&F catalogue and still don’t see it… That location is farther from the BM headquarters address. Maybe they charged it and turned it on at a differen...

It is extremely frustrating to not get any updates/response in almost 3 weeks. I happen to have insurance on my lost phone and could get a replacement. But the phone manufacturer will kill the phone remotely and erase all the data if I file a claim. I want the photos in the phone so badly, which is ...

I have been checking the lost and found portal everyday since the last day of burn, but haven't seen any new images of lost items. I have even contacted burning man with descriptions of my lost item and haven't heard back. I'm guessing (and hoping) that the lost and found volunteers are dealing with...

Is this still available?

I lost my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra phone in deep Playa on Sep 3. I have been tracking the phone's location remotely. The most recent location of the phone is at or around 1345 20th St, San Francisco. I'm hoping a Burning man lost and found staff has it and can return it to me. If someone else has th...

This year was my first burn. I ran into and sat next to an amazing couple from California under Paraluna Thursday night. We talked about how beautiful this life is and how our early ancestors fought for their survival in this very land (or ocean) 500 million years ago. You guys invited me to have fo...
