Lost checked bag and no shirt

My checked bag which contained my race shirt and a few other things was missing after the race. The bag was likely given to the wrong person. The RD agreed to mail me a race shirt for replacement. After getting home, I have tried to follow up with him via email. Sadly, after over a month of trying I still have not received the shirt. We also had a temporary race interruption due to the thunderstorms this year.
