i did loose my wooden mug sunday. Actually it was stolen...... i placed on top of the stall wall in br near sea devil, and after wrestling my skirts and bells in porper position to stay dry, i noted a hand reach up, snag my mug and then left with it. I was too busy taking care of mother nature to respond fast enough....... ah well, the skirts stayed dry.

That majorly sucks - they don't exactly give those things away.  Last year at the Sea Devil, I was sitting facing the stage w/my mug - having just bought it from Knarly Knot - behind me.  I happened to reach for it at about the time some punk kid was reaching - er, admiring - it.

Shoot, Meg, that's awful.  I hope you can get a replacement soon.

That happened to me twice last year...luckily the second time I saw the people walking away.  Being a hawker I just yelled, "Going to show my beautiful mug to your parents?" and when they turned around all I did was point to the cops standing behind me.

I've never seen teenagers run that fast to RETURN something they stole

Hello,
I was out there this weekend and lost my cell phone inside the faire.  The last place I had it was the Mystic Cloak and Tailor.  It is a Samsung flip phone and has a scruffy dog pic on the screen, if anyone finds it.  I would really appreciate any help with this.

Thank you,
Lisa aka Lilith Nox

I have lost 2 little rats and a piggie ... they were additional pets to my german farm I have going on...
ALSO a group member, Fritz Von Bron ( Wayne) had a real / small colorful German stein with a flip lid and he left it on a bench in Germany before parade... needless to say it is gone.

I don't understand a person's need to pick up something that is not theirs and take it! It boggles my mind!

You could explain someone stealing it because it was something nice.  I lost my shoulder rest between the Dove Meadow and Castle stages running between sets.  I noticed it missing before I even got back to the Castle Stage and retraced my steps, but it was already gone.  What in the hell would someone do with what is basically a pillow with a strap on it?  I just figured someone threw it away.

That's so true... I just DON"T understand "ground scores"... why are people not honest anymore and turn things into lost and found.  My friend found a cell phone last weekend and we kept it with us and then answered it when it rang.  We then were able to meet up with the guy who'd lost it that evening and return it.  We were going to turn it into lost and found, but it rang before we had a chance...  THIS is what people should be doing for one another, this is fairemily love!!!!

Lisa, I will check Mystic Cloak this weekend for you.

So, I lost my daughter's binkey in camp before laying her down to bed... those of you that have children may know how important the binkey is when trying to get a good nights rest. There were probably 15 of us searching frantically for a binkey on a leash. I had to find that particular binkey for two reasons- she only likes Avent brand & that binkey has a mouse on it. It's too adorable! Mousie and Mini Mouse! That binkey goes with her mouse costume too! The camp looked like a UFO was about to land with all of the flashlights scanning the ground. We went back and forth from Brigadoon to Valhalla and had no luck. I was going up to everyone who came into camp asking "Have you seen my binkey?" One of the officers looked at me like I was some crazed addict looking for my stash. After a few hours of looking we all decided some raver kid must have picked it up thinking how cool it was that this pacifier had a leash. It's for my kid! Even after the battle of getting her to sleep I still kept looking. I'm sorry the mom in me wasn't about to give up!

My friend's went to a wedding in Magnolia that evening and picked up two new binkeys. Well Reign is absolutely spoiled and like I said only likes one brand of binkey, so that night was a battle to get her to bed again. The next morning my friend walks up and pulls the binkey out of his pocket... he said he found it next to the fire pit we had all looked by two nights prior! LOL! I think he had it in his pocket the whole time and didn't want to admit it, lol! I don't know, but the gremlin binkey thieves didn't get it this time!

Anyway, just thought I would share the binkey catastrophe!

Lady Mousie...I feel your pain. My son used to be the same way...only one type of paci, and Lord & LAdy help you if you could not find it...I at one time had somewhere in the area of 10 of that specific paci...2 in the diaper bag, 2 at home, 2 in my purse, 2 in car and 2 at my Mom's...Luckily one day he just broke himself from the paci habit and hasn't used one since...TheLadyKat's son has inherited them (or most of them anyway...the ones I could find) ;D

I know it's a shot in the dark, but if anyone has found a leather rose with piercings in toon town, I lost it a few weekends ago.

I lost my boot knife last sunday.  I'm not sure if it was at the haggis eating contest or back at camp when i tore down tent.

Soooo... AHE Sunday I somehow lost my cellphone when the little pouch I carry it in came unclipped from my belt pouch strap, and as soon as I realized it (about an hour or so later) Grov called it from his phone, and lo and behold, who should answer but... BLUE!!!  Seems that someone found it and turned it in to Lost & Found, who proceeded to call the last number dialed, which was Seamus in Florida, who in turn called Blue and had her go pick it up... talk about 6 degrees of separation... ROFL  We went and found her by the foundry to pick up the phone, where she then introduced my daughter to deep fried PB&J sammiches...  Thanks, Blue, for everything...  ;)  :D  And thank you Seamus, for thinking quickly... saved me a big pain in the... wallet!  :P

I also lost a pretty cool Pirate favor, all in gold charms, with a skull, sword and an anchor all attached to a ships wheel, with a red and a blue bead connecting a couple of the charms to the wheel.  It was the last one I had left, and it was supposed to be my daughter's, so if anyone came across it she'd love to have it back...

Looks like we might have lost a set of truck keys. They will have an Old Marlboro fob that's leather with an opener on them and a Ford key.
