Did you try calling Georgia Dome Security. We lost a bag of important stuff last year and a FIRSTer had turned it in. Security mailed it to us free of charge.

a lost and found thread makes sense as long as it doesn't get clogged by posts of "ouch...wow i hope you find your stuff"...as encouraging as that is it would be quite a task to dig through all those to find out who is actually missing stuff.

It does... and you just seriously jogged my memory...

I was on my way to the pits with all my stuff when I stopped at I think the last bench to the right on the way to the pits by one of the side doors I was planning on entering. Two friends were there and I left it there...

There's a resume inside with a bunch of activities and a form for a scholarship i never got to apply for...

Who can I contact?

Just curious, have you tried calling FIRST? They also mentioned that they maintained a lost and found as well; anything not claimed at the end of the Championship was put on the trucks to Manchester. I'd try calling them in the morning before cutting that check.

I constantly asked Pit Admin and the Georgia Dome... wherever this mystery yellow shirt guy put it... it wasn't anywhere I could locate it. :( How do I go about contacting FIRST? It's worth a shot.

You can email FIRST at frcteams@usfirst.org I believe.

so did you find it or not?
our financial officer was wondering since he is the one who found it.

I can answer that" Turns out it WAS a FIRST volunteer that got it (but I don't know the shirt color...), and they couldn't find Spiffzizzle*, so it ended up going by truck back to Manchester, where they had been alerted to its presence and owner. A few weeks after Chamopinships the owner and the ownee were reunited.:D

How about that: Where else but a FIRST event could you actually leave your laptop lying on a bench, and actually get it back?

*And anyone who KNOWS the lady in question also knows that it's impossible to NOT know where she is at any given instant. I'll miss her as she's off to University (with a FIRST Scholarship!) in a few days.
