FAHA: This happened @ a FIRST Competition?!?!
Did this happen to you at competition? Never throught stealing would happen at FIRST competitions, but it seems like the real world is finally coming into FIRST. A lot of times the bad guys just ruin it for all of us. If you have a similar experience, please share them.

I've heard of a few very UNGRACIOUS and UNPROFESSIONAL things that have happened at a few comps... First of all, at the Annapolis competition, a woman's purse was stolen as her team went down to recieve an award. Also, at the Philly Competition, a student's CD player was stolen. I'm sorry, but when I goto a FIRST competition, I used to feel safe, I used to think that the people attending these events understands the concept of 'GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM', and would live by that phrase (I know I've come to do so.), but now, I think twice about leaving my things unattended in the stands (which, @ a FIRST Comp, shouldn't be necessary ) I think we should all really think about what's been going on and start to live by the words of Woody & Dean.
