The man from La-La Land tried to steal and resell Outside Lands, and will face Northern California justice.

A Los Angeles man was arrested on suspicion of stealing an envelope full of $4,000 worth of Outside Lands VIP wristbands and reselling them at $50 to $100 each, according to the San Francisco Appeal.

It's still not certain where or how Shawheen Younai, 29, snagged the wristbands, though Another Planet Entertainment, the organizer of the festival, reported a missing envelope of wristbands stolen from the box office.

Shortly after the box office theft, Outside Lands security discovered Younai selling the wristbands near a bank of ATMs, according to the San Francisco Examiner. He was arrested and booked for second-degree burglary and possession of stolen property, both felonies.

That's a serious concert experience, indeed.
