Good point Steve, I produced a music festival for 25 years and learned fast to post security at all the vulnerable spots following the show until everybody who was not authorized had left the venue. Merch, alcohol, anything of value cuz some drunk people are dumb.

My vendors always had a buddy system during the show and especially on the load out with security back up checking in with each vendor.

Horrible what happened to Ash and I hope the perps get punished, maybe a good time to have a conversation about solutions to an increasing problem.

My emotions tell me a small explosive charge affixed to the latches of the case that will take your hands off but leave the cards intact if you get the combination wrong would meet out a little street justice.

Also like the Apple tracker idea coupled with a dye pack.
