Backpack Missing After Day 3 of Champs

[Tim Lehmann4967]

Hello!

I am missing a black SwissGear Backpack (the super generic ones that everybody has) that contained a laptop, mouse, a Garmin, and other items like earbuds, backup phone battery, etc... Nothing crazy valuable, but I would like to get it back if possible.

The backpack was last seen sitting just outside 4967's pit on our disassembled crate (we took the crate and bot home ourselves). I didn't notice it was missing until after closing ceremonies on Saturday, so it was too late to ask pit admin.

I've heard FIRST has a lost and found, but I haven't been able to find any type of contact info or lost item forms. Any advice on how I should go about this process, or information on the bags whereabouts, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This email blast from last year.

Lost and Found Items: All Lost and Found items from regional events get packed on our trucks and return to FIRST headquarters. All lost item requests from regional events will be addressed after the 2015 FIRST Championship (when all trucks are back at FIRST Headquarters). District teams should contact their District Planning Committee regarding lost item requests.
And there is nothing following Worlds about a lost and found, so I assume it is the same procedure whether it is a regional or Championship event.

Lost and Found items from FRC competitions eventually make their way to FIRST Headquarters. Contact them about your missing items, and expect not to get a good response for a week or two.

OK, thanks for the advice!
