At a scene like Coachella, where any music act, art installation and fashion or food trend is Instagrammable or Snapchatted, it’s no wonder several festival-goers noticed their cellphones had vanished during the event Friday.
According to the Indio Police Department, the music fans activated their “Find My iPhone” app and followed Reinaldo De Jesus Henao around the venue until he was detained by security workers.
Officers later arrived and found more than 100 cellphones in Henao’s backpack, police said.
Henao, 36, of New York was arrested on suspicion of grand theft and possession of stolen property, police said.
Several cellphones were returned to victims, and others were left at lost and found, according to police.

Hahah wot a dumbass. Cellphones aren't even worth stealing nowadays. 1.) Because most people have an app that can locate it; 2.) They shut their service off; 3.) Nobody wants to buy a stolen phone with locked passwords, etc.
Just saying - if you're gonna be a thief, be a proper thief, and go for the gusto!!!
Let me point out, doe, that the day after a huge outdoor music festival/concert is THE BEST place to find money on the ground.
I used to be big into Widespread Panic, and jam-band shows/music festivals. Still like the music, just too old for that atmosphere now - every now and then I'll go to a 3-day festival.
Anyway - if you wake up early the next morning, and scour the field, you'll find at least 50 bucks. One time me and my mate found over 800 dollars, and a bunch of other cool shyte.
People at these shows at high on 'shrooms, acid, ecstasy, and other psychedelics, so they lose/drop/forget shyte.
