EDC Recovers More Than 1,700 Lost Items, Includes Phones, Bags, IDs, More

Electric Daisy Carnival, also known as EDC, recently subsided this past weekend. And many people are probably missing a phone, keys, wallet and other valuable items.

The Las Vegas Motor Speedway transformed into a field of people adorning candy-colored uniforms, electric colored hair and brightly colored fishnets from Friday to Sunday. It's a spectacle, and it's truly a weekend holiday in Las Vegas. But with the pulsating music and often use of substances comes a common consequence: lost items.

According to the EDC Lost and Found page, the festival has returned 1,731 items and counting.

The virtual lost and found page has different categories of phones, IDs, keys, bank cards, backpacks, laptops, jewelry and more. You can search the page and claim an item, but you will have to fill out some information that most likely confirm if you're the item's correct owner. You can see the entire catalog of lost-and-found items by clicking here.

There are still many items that need to be claimed. However, EDC's Lost-and-Found website states that " all found property is currently in transit to the post event location. Lost and found operations are expected to resume on Tuesday May 28 with all shipments provided via shipment."

One recommendation to protect yourself from losing a phone is to change you lock screen to a photo that contains your contact information. This way, people who find your phone -- hopefully instead of stealing it -- can contact you easily.

Be aware of people pickpocketing. This is a known problem with many music festivals. When you combine alcohol, subtances and loud music, it can create the perfect conditions to be swiped of a phone. If you're in any crowded area, be sure to hold your phone instead of placing it in a fanny pack or clipping it to a belt.

It's easy for pickpocket situations to occur if you're not directly holding your phone. If you must place the phone in a fanny pack, just be sure to constantly check and to ensure your fanny pack is closed at all times.

Electric Daisy Carnival, also popularly called "EDC" just ended the iconic three-day lineup at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

From Friday to Sunday, the motor speedway transformed into a technicolor dreamland of electronic music, physical psychedelic art and pure heaven for the vibrant souls of the world. Headliners for this year included Benny Benassi, Culture Shock, Dom Dolla, Kaskade, John Summit, DJ Snake, Excision, Steve Aoki and so much more.

EDC is more than a festival for people. It's a weekend where people can shed their "everyday skin" and transform into their true selves. It's where art, music and culture collide to create a beautiful temporary land of pure joy.

In 1997, a warehouse party in Los Angeles became the start of EDC. Since then, CEO Pasquale Rotella has grown the once-small warehouse party into a global dance music festival that also happened globally in Mexico, Korea, Japan, Brazil, China and so much more, according to the festival's website.

The company that organizes EDC is called Insomniac Events, and they're synonymous with throwing on huge, mind-bending raves such as Nocturnal Wonderland and Escape: Psycho Circus.

After bouncing around a few venues in California, Insomniac has finally made Las Vegas' Motor Speedway its home anchor for the annual EDC festival. Thus, EDC history continues.

"By incorporating carnival themes and attractions, cutting-edge stage production, world-class talent, and innovative art and technology," the website states. "EDC is more than an electronic music festival - it is an unparalleled multi-sensory experience unlike any other."

According to 8 News Now, an estimated 500,000 attended the huge rave. In fact, this is what's most likely causing a headache-inducing stream of traffic on the I-15 on Monday morning.

EDC is truly an iconic Las Vegas festival that brings people from all over the world together to dance in harmony. Let's take a stroll in
