Lost and Found at Regionals

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but here goes.

At Peachtree, I was my team's programmer (1002), and on the second day of competition (Friday), first thing we brought the robot over to the practice field to test out. As I needed to follow the robot with a tether to the laptop, I took it out of the case and set the case down next to the practice driver's station. After spending maybe 5 minutes on the field and maybe 2 minutes making sure the robot was settled, I went to retrieve the laptop case, and it wasn't there.

At first I figured it was in the way and someone had moved it to the side of the field, but after searching for it for 5 minutes I determined that wasn't the case. I asked the people from our team who were helping to run the field to look out for it and let me know if they saw it turn up. As we were actively working on the robot all day, I was unable to search extensively for it personally, but I had several of my teammates help me out trying to find where it had gotten, I had them make several announcements both days, and whenever I got some extra time I would go in search for it. By the end of competition on Saturday no one had seen it and it wasn't in the lost and found. Regrettably, I filled out a lost item form and went home without the laptop case, which also had several other things in it.

Fortunately I still have the laptop itself as well as the wireless card but now I don't even have the AC adaptor. I'm hoping I don't have to assume the worst, but I have a feeling I might. So, my question to those who were there at Peachtree is, could you please check and see if you accidentally have an extra laptop case you didn't have before? I realize that it would probably be easy to mix it up with someone else's and end up with two and if that's the case than please let me know I'll be very grateful. It's a black laptop case with DELL in blue letters on the front flap. If anyone has seen it or know where it might have gotten to, I'd greatly appreciate it.
