Unfortunate 2009 Boston Regional Incident

[MikeDubreuil]

Rick or anyone else who lost anything,

When we packed up the pit admin crate we had: Some eyeglasses, a baseball cap and some other random things. They can be be claimed by contacting frcteams@usfirst.org.

There was some items of value the arena staff found. They closed Guest Services before we could claim them. You can contact Guest Services at Agganis Arena to inquire about any other lost items. The contact information is here.

[Mikell Taylor]

Whoever on your team is the official contact should check their email. The Agganis crew found it while cleaning up, and Steve Cremer (our RD) has contacted you.

[Rick Vogl]

Mikell,

Thanks for the update. I just received word by phone myself. Our Team Contact is making arrangements for it's return.

Thanks for all of the support from the FIRST community. With a lesson learned we will make sure we aren't as careless in the future.

[dsmoker]

Yea!!! So glad everything worked out for you, Rick. Hope we'll see you this week.

I'm sure it will turn up.
I cant see anyone intentionally taking such a thing.
We had one girl forget her wallet at the arena and came back 2 hours later.
It was STILL there at the front of the Coliseum in Oregon, found by another adult at the event.

[Rick Vogl]

Well I thought we were out of the woods our found case has been lost again. They seem to have misplaced it at the arena. I'm hoping the staff member that locked it away on Saturday is back at work. The guy on site yesterday couldn't locate it.

The good news is we will be able to compete with a borrowed cRio if it comes to that.

[Elgin Clock]

If any team has had a crazy season this year, it's been 230.

Persistance is key though Rick. I'm sure everthing will work itself out.

If you need anything by the time you get to Hartford, let me or anyone else on Team 237 know!
Until then, good luck!

Is it possible to edit the original post? Or the title? The issue was thankfully resolved and it would be nice not to have the negative stigma associated keep on.

Kate, do you have some inside info that Rick hasn't posted? It sounds to me like the issue has not been resolved.

Well - I guess I misread. But regardless, it was found once and if there is an issue, it appears it was not FIRST affiliated? *I hope that's true*

Suggestion:
When the issue is resolved to the satisfaction of the original poster, in this case, Rick Vogl, then he, the original poster or OP, can contact a mod and ask that this thread be closed. He can also request that the thread title reflect the changes that he would like. That one may be a mod, or definitely, Brandon Martus could make the thread title change.

[Rick Vogl]

Jane,

I will most certainly close the post once the issue is resolved.

Kate,

I have no issue if the mod wants to change the title either. Perhaps it was a poor choice to begin with.

John,

Thank you very much for your offer. I believe there are a couple of other offers on the table, one of the other team mentors, John Niski, is working the issue. I believe we are also in the process of purchasing a replacement. One of our sponsors is opening up their wallet a bit wider.

Everyone thank you again for all of your support.

[Rick Vogl]

Moderator, you can go ahead and close this thread. By now Steve Cremer's email has reached all of the Boston Regional teams. We have ordered a new cRio and the other components that we lost. We will be back in business for Hartford and Atlanta.

Thank you very much all of the teams that offered a loaner. For any teams attending Hartford and Atlanta if we have something you need it's yours.

Denise and Ernie of 558 we'll be by soon to borrow your gyro and camera as long as your sure you aren't going to use them.

If by chance our stuff turns up I'll let everyone know.
