Auckgeddon 2010 - Lost/Found/Stolen
By jpwise. 29/10/10, 08:26 pm |
| OK, kicking it off, I spotted this in Sideswipe.

Angela from thecostumeshop.co.nz writes: "If your teenage daughter came home from the Armageddon expo at the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland at the weekend with an XS female Ghostbusters costume, she stole it from our stall. She was sighted taking it, but was lost in the crowd. We also have her on film. We have the licence for this and so she could get it only from us. If she tells you that she paid for it, she is lying, because we took only one with us. The costume is worth $155. If you wish to pay for this, contact us at info@thecostumeshop.co.nz and no charges will be laid. If we do not hear from anyone within the week, we will forward the pictures to the police." |
I'm also aware Fraser (JudasNZ) lost a Lens for his camera on Monday during the cosplay on stage, I believe he was up on the first level seats somewhere and misplaced it while changing lenses during the main cosplay event on stage.
If anyone else has anything lost/found/etc please feel free to add. _________________ SPCC - Helping Promote Cosplay Since 2009 - www.cosplay.org.nz & here SPCC Wiki - Need Cosplay Supplies, Know where to get them? - help update our Wiki! 2010 Cosplay Calendar - On Sale Now - Look Here! - Now only $10 $5 Wellygeddon 2011 Photos |

| Pixel lost two items. Very Expensive D8 A large white box with ipod speakers in it ;-; Her white adidas Jumper.
The jumper should have been returned to her as it had been taken care for by the information desk the day before. I blame the armageddon staff for that one T.T |

| Wow, well, I guess as the number of people at the event has increased, so too have the number of "unsavory" ppl... Its sad, but I guess a lesson to us all to be careful now. At least star trek guy and other such incidents seem to have been kept to a minimum.
I lost my mind. If anyone has seen it, can they please capture and return. It may not want to come peacefully, and is a little blue round the edges, but its really a nice mind...

| @Sock: I'm pretty sure the last one I saw the white adidas jumper with was Demy/Roxas-has-a-stick, so i'll ask her if she's still holding it > <
@Matsumoto: If you can't find them, chances are I still have your white MP3 speakers. Sorry about that! > < I kept forgetting to return them everytime I saw you.. |

I think I saw your mind as I was leaving on Sunday, it was sitting in amongst a bunch of bikini clad figurines iirc
It really sucks that there are people who think it's fine to steal stuff like that comming to events now, going to have to keep a better eye on my stuff as I have in the past a feeling that I could be a tad more lax on keeping an eye on my things at geddon |

| We had reports all day at the Information Booth of peoples phones and wallets being stolen right out of their handbag or back pocket.
Ladies if you have a purse please keep it closed, and guys don't keep your wallet in your back pocket!!

| And don't always trust other cosplayers with your stuff (unless you are friends with them). I had a cosplayer poach my stuff before, and it makes you feel even worse than if some random did it.
@Sock; the white jumper's at Xiggers' place, last I checked. She'll keep it safe until it can be returned/picked up/whatever. |

| Well I lost a small cheap lens hood, that will probably cost like heaps to replace. It seems to have popped off at random a few times. But given the zealous cleaning staff I think it's gone.
I know Floyd had costume stolen off him while he slept. So not cool.
Wondering if Rikki's dog was found. I saw it in someones top later. Never caught up with them though. |

Wasn't mine. It belonged to the Kiba floating around. I borrowed it cause I wanted to play with it, and then when I was done I put it done with all the bags and the bucket. Then when Kiba came back for it... gone. Idek wtf happened, considering there were like ten people there the whole time. |

| Awesome news Father Nightroad :) Yeah there are luckily some good people around still :)
Weta had pieces filched too. Grrr. I think other stands had the same issue.
For once I didn't lose my phone! (Last time it was actually in my boot but I couldn't feel it towards the end of the day....) And while I had a panicky moment I actually have all my costume pieces back here. Amazing.
Kitten Slave: I think there must have been a brain thief for I have lost mine also. |
