Lost and Found

Vestrise · June 01, 2007, 11:47:17 AM

So, I just finished unpacking from Fanime a couple days ago, and I realized something: My DS has gone missing!!! I am hoping I didn't, but it may have fallen out of my bag at con. I know that there is a slim and none chance of finding it, but if anyone found a white DS, could they let me know? I still have the serial number for it, so I can match it up and won't be taking someone else's...

The best thing to do is to send the information of your DS (Serial number is great because it's a unique way of IDing it) to help@fanime

Thanks, but it looks like I was over-reacting. A friend of mine had grabbed it from me by mistake when she grabbed her stuff. It's nice to know that, should something like this happen, there is some way of possibly recovering it. Props to the Fanime staff!

I lost a JVC Everio G Digital Camcorder. There should be some cosplay pics, other pictures and a couple videos taken of the con as well as some videos containing me in it! ^^

I lost my mind... has anyone found it?

I lost a skirt, but if I somehow left it in the convention centre I think I've got more to worry about than the skirt. I don't recall walking around in my underwear....

I lost a nice pair of running socks, but I think they were tossed out by housekeeping.

That's one of the many reasons why we didn't let the maids step foot inside our room @.@

Please email help@fanime dot com regarding this.

I am emailing the help@fanime right now...but I thought I'd give a shout out as well. I lost my health insurance card in the Marriot lobby/check in place.

I kinda really need that. -_-'' considering I just paid $100+ out of pocket for a doctors' visit.

My biggest question is CAN THEY HELP??? i realzied NOT people can find things and then SIMPLY return them..I already return someones glasses because they look expensive and someone elses wallet, I did found a DS and return that to the Registration desk because The help desk told me to go to REgistration, which they told me to go to Con ops, and then con ops said no we don't do Lost and founds, try registration and finally i arrived and announce it live....

btw, the Ds was old and its color was gold!
as for the glassess ONE of the lens is broken but the frame is black with a slick line of a silver like chrome at the edge!

but like i said before.... CAN THEY HELP???

Yeah... I found a digi-cam that I turned into lost and found, and apparently, the person picked it up(I heard from a friend of mine in staff later that day when we were having dinner).

Though I don't understand what you're trying to say in your post, I'm just stating what I THINK you're trying to ask.

For items that don't have ID, they can't go out of their way to track the owners down, but it';s still a good idea to have a nice centralized place for people to contact when they realize there's stuff missing.

(btw update on my mysteriously disappearing skirt, it was in my friend's luggage! whoops!)

Gatsby · January 16, 2008, 09:38:10 PM

You do realize that even if your skirt did go missing there would be a reasonable reason. And here it is... YOU'RE AT A CON! Crazy stuff happens all the time. :P

we should have a Good Samaritan Lost and Found award each year at Fanime. The winner who turns in the most valuable lost item gets a free con pass for the next 3 years.

Here here?

If we give something away like that someone might be tempted to steal something just to give it back. The award's gotta just be recognition.

I understand that you're concerned with... "the experience" of other people at the con and all, but I doubt there's actually any reason for Fanime to make a certificate that no one, not even the person who'd receive it, would care about.
