Tribune staff report
August 29, 2008
Six guest lockers were forced open and the contents—valued collectively at almost $4,000—were stolen at the Six Flags Great America amusement park on Sunday, Gurnee police said.
The lockers, located near the front entrance of the park, were broken into sometime between 2:45 and 4 p.m., police said. Among the items stolen were purses, wallets, cash, credit cards, checks, glasses, cell phones, jewelry, keys and identification cards, police said.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon! *****Are you ready to Rockit?!*****
This is a perfect example of why you don't bring stuff like that into the park in the first place. Leave it locked up in your car, or don't bring it at all.

Jewelry? "Oh here I can just bring my pearls and diamond earrings to Six Flags." --Arrives at SFGAm-- "Darn! these pearls are to big and heavy, let me store them in one of these unguarded aluminum lockers"
poor wolfie rip
 ( hopewe get a neww bm wingrider for next year!11!
It was really stupid for anybody to bring such valuable things to Great America in the first place, but I think it's crazy that nobody noticed or at least nobody did anything to stop them.
I don't see how they got out of the park without anyone noticing them. How could nobody notice them? The lockers are in the front of the park, there is always plenty of people in that area.
and that is why i bring my phone my season pass and money and keep them on me at ALL times =] ive never lost anything on a ride either and i dont plan on it

I bring my backpack with me but I have a fannypack that has my wallet, phone and camera. The only thing in my backpack is bathing suite( in season), water bottle, towel and my coupon book. I make sure I have all my valuables with me.

I just bring some money and my cell phone into the park. I have never lost anything on any of the rides.
I though there was a worker by the lockers. Don't you think that the worker would have saw it?
somebody wasn't doing there job...

I think this is the first time that this has happened. ( I could be wrong)
This is why I don't bring crap like that into the park. Seriously, you don't need your freaking purse with everything in it. I keep everything with me, and the only time I ever use a locker is when we're at the water park. And the only thing valuable we put in the locker is like a few bucks. This freaks me out, I'm going to be a little afraid the next time I use a locker. Things just seem to keep getting worse for Six Flags...
If I'm not mistaken there isn't a worker by these lockers, there are only workers by ride lockers. If I read the article correctly the lockers in question were at the front of the park.
Remember, there's nothing but air beneath the chair.
^O ya, I don't think there is now that I think of it. But still you thing that somone would have saw it.
Amen to that. Frank
I don't have those types of pants

I used the lockers for the first time Wednesday and was like "American Eagle has lockers?" What happened to the storage bins? I didn't get why you had to put a dollar in to get a quarter or whatever it is to put in again afterwards. It is so annoying. Just leave what you can in the car. The souvenir cups are the worst though. That's why the flats and the oldies aka Demon and Whizzer are awesome to ride with drinks and everything you can just leave it there.

you should invest there great! Make B&M Great Again.
Well, Melissa, i'll work on inventing a pair of zipper pocketed cargo PAJAMA pants!   Seriously though, the GP that hears about this are going to pitch a fit at the front of each line when they have to use the dollar lockers....  RIP: Trailblazer and Deja Vu...heck, even Alien Encounter

^Ya, they might have a problem with some people now and I don't blame the people.

Youre right. I would lock it and hide it really good in my car but I heard thieves are breaking in to cars parked in the parking lot too so check your cars before you enter the park.
Yeah, i've seen the aftermaths (broken glass) of one of them this summer. Just simple, if you don't want it stolen don't bring it unless you really have to.
Oh that is so not funny SF trips 09 = 15
