The customer who left a plastic bag with 2 non sport wax boxes up by the autograph pavilion table area on Sunday, we found it & gave it to the CONVENTION CENTER SECURITY OFFICE so tell them exactly what’s in the bag to claim it from them. The man who lost it came to the ticket booth, but never left his info with us. Thx.
