Journalist Rolando Barbano robbed at AC/DC concert

Journalist Rolando Barbano was the victim of a theft during the AC/DC concert held in the country this past Monday and recounted the bad moment he had to live through at the River Plate stadium. According to what was investigated by the Noticias Argentinas agency, the event occurred while he was enjoying the show with his teenage son, in a night that ended with a strong bad moment. Barbano himself recounted what happened on América Noticias, where he explained that the theft occurred when he was in the field, very attentive to his son and not so much to the concert. 'At the AC/DC concert, I went with my son, he was in the field. It appeared two hours after the concert ended,' he recounted. He also noted that the digitization of tickets left him with no alternative. 'The fact that the entry is now digital leaves you no alternative,' he said. In addition, he detailed that he had taken some precautions to avoid a robbery. 'I went with the cell phone with my son, who is 14 years old, I was more attentive to him than to the music. I took a jacket with a zipper and put the cell phone inside,' he explained. However, the moment of the robbery went almost unnoticed. 'I think it was at a moment when someone approached me. The first question I asked myself was why I took the cell phone, but I answered myself that the tickets are now with the phone. One of the songs started, he stood next to me, I wanted to leave with my son and I felt the pull. I found it virtually,' he explained. 'When I put my hand in, they had already taken the cell phone,' he recounted. During the interview, his colleague Soledad Larghile asked if he had noticed it at the exact moment, and Barbano admitted that it was very difficult to notice it in the middle of the crowd. The journalist also recounted that he managed to track the device thanks to another device he has at his home. 'I have an iPad and it shows me the place where my cell phone is, it marks it in real time.'
