The Things They Didn’t Carry

Chatting to the security lady last night while we waited for Lou from engineering, and the topic of lost property came up.

Apparently the thing that had them run ragged for Gen Con was the stuff people forgot in their rooms, which housekeeping then found, and which had to be collected by security.
Sometimes it was something simple, like a phone charger.
Other times, a game.
Sometimes, so many boxed games that they had to make multiple trips to transport it all.

Her guess was that it was maybe 80 cases on Sunday, and 80 on Monday. The JW has a shade over 1000 rooms, many of which were Gen-Conners, which makes it look like 15-20% of people left something behind.

I used the torch on my phone to check under the bed & chair after hearing about that.

How in the name of all that’s fuzzy do you forget a stack of full-size game boxes?
