A girl from Wheaton lost her phone at Lolla on Day 3, when Chicago-native Chance the Rapper was the headliner.
"It was right in my right pocket of, like, a windbreaker. I zipped it up, went back to go get it, and it wasn't there," she said.
Police have returned all of the phones to Lollapalooza's lost and found. If you didn't get to that tent on Day 4, you can search their database and submit a claim.
