Lost cameras at Georgia Dome

[Ian W.]

I hate to sound harsh, but unless any "lost" (stolen?) items turn up in the next few days, I don't think you'll get them back. FIRST is actually probably entirely cleared out of the event site by now, because each additional day is more money they pay, so I wouldn't be surprised if they worked through the night to break down everything and ship it back to wherever it is that they keep it.

Also keep in mind that FIRST does warn against leaving anything in the pits, and I do agree, it's a shame that we have to worry about thefts at a competition such as FIRST, but some people just don't get it, and there's nothing we can do about it except for keep a close eye on our personal belongings.

A quick suggestion for next year, if you can, get bags for laptops and cameras that don't look like they hold laptops or cameras, because then someone will be less likely to steal them.
