Kansas Wrestling Forums General Discussion Kids Folkstyle LOST IPOD at Junior Viking Capital City Tournament

We wrestled at Seamen today. My son had his IPOD touch in the gym where the big boys wrestled. We were seated in the bleachers by the exit doors. He has misplaced it and we no longer have it. I am offering a small reward for its safe return to us or any Ogden Outlaw. It has a black and blue survivor case on it. Please help us!!!! This was part of his Xmas gift, he also had to use some of his own money towards it.If found you can call or text me 785-477-0290

Thanks to John Cornett a custodian at Seamen the IPOD has been found. I took a chance and called the school and he was generous enough to take a few extra minutes and walk over to where I thought it might be and there it laid. Thank god for honest people!!!

Glad you got your stuff back this time.

This is why I do not allow my wrestler to bring games or music with him to tournaments. The stress of losing these items is too high and it becomes a distraction to the tournament itself. I suggest a paperback book or something to draw/coloring supplies. Leave the high tech toys at home or for the road. We have been doing this for about 8 years and it seems like after every tournament you read about someone leaving or being robbed of this stuff. Why risk it? The kids mostly want the tech stuff there as a status thing and there are some people who prey on them for it. Kinda like leaving your car unlocked in a parking lot with your wallet/purse laying out. Your kinda just asking for it. Best of luck to your son and hope that this doesn't happen to you guys again.

If a paperback book or crayons were my kids distraction from a 10 hour day of wrestling we would have been done 7-8 years ago. Thank goodness for technology! We have lost or broken multiple psp and nintendo ds. Now its tablets and ipods.

Some of the kids can read :}hehe Most the time I make my kids leave there technology at home. Mainly for the reasion there dad thinks all that crap sucks :} Each kid needs difrant things to make there day better.

lara...I am glad that your wrestler recovered his ipod.

Patrick, Gil was upset with me because I told him to leave his at home that morning, but he got by just fine without it. Sometimes I cave, but I agree with Hossus that most of the time just getting them to keep track of their wrestling gear between matches is enough to worry about. ...besides on Sunday we wrestled our last match between 3:30 and 3:45. For those who took advantage of the remote weigh in option that only equates to 6 1/2 hours in the gym
