Ever lose something at an airport? Tell us about it.

Laptops, cell phones, sunglasses, carry-on bags, suitcases, headphones, stuffed animals, coats, wallets, and wedding rings

These are just some of the items travelers leave behind at airports and on airplanes that end up in the lost & found.

For a news story we are working on about the systems airports and airlines use to catalog and return lost items, we’d like to hear about your experiences with airport lost & found departments.

Did you leave behind something at an airport that was sentimental, irreplaceable, valuable, odd, or unusual?

(We’d especially like to hear about the odd & unusual…)

How did you go about trying to retrieve your lost item? And were you successful or not?
