That happened to a friend of mine.
Right before the SKIN concert he handed his backpack and wallet as they asked since they noticed his camera.
When he came back and was told that his stuff with a few other attendee's were thrown away in the dumpster due to rules that made no sense and retarded "space" reasons. He went on and ranted at the staff for doing such a thing, he cussed at them, screamed and nearly shoved them.
He had all his belongings in it, excluding his cell phone. It was a real piss off since he was then kicked out of con, but damn he had a right to what he did.
I mean come on if you want to ruin someone's life like that for months by acting like a careless b**** you deserve to be shot like a criminal.
It killed my entire time at AX to know that they did that.
The SOS Brigade themselves and Bandai were just as much as a piss off.
Taking their fame for granted and treating us fans like crap really made me hate them now.
First they don't come to the autograph sessions, then the rescheduled autograph sessions goes for a hour and more then half of the line gets kicked away because of the SOS's arrogance.
Second Aya messes up in her own concert.
Third Bandai/ASOS Brigade on Haruhi Dance Competition disregarded all the damn rules they setup in the ASOS website for the competition, the winning group won by using stripes when the site clearly said that they would be judged on the dance not props. (Was one of the groups and this turned out to be the most unfair acts, they completely disregarded their own planning, what the hell?)
Take your fame for granted and abuse it ;yeah thats smart when people actually care.
I don't even want to think about them anymore, I loved Haruhi but she is a total s*** now so don't bother arguing with me on that...at all.
AX itself
Don't get me started on that, you already know what it is about.
