In the days when paper tickets were still in use, I was staying at a resort about 40 miles outside of Munich. I took the train into Munich and as I got off the train, I heard my name being paged.
It turned out that I had left both my passport and my airline ticket in the desk drawer in my hotel room. The maid had found them and someone from the hotel took them to the train station, put them on the next train to Munich, and the conductor delivered them to me about an hour later in the Munich train station.
