Traveling in SBB 1st from GVA to Bern after a red-eye from IAD and with a short connection at Bern to Interlaken I managed to leave my laptop bag on the train and did not realize it until I was boarding the second train...by which time the first was pulling out of the station.
With the help of a Swiss friend, however, I was able to contact SBB lost and found, and for the BARGAIN price of 50 CHF I was able to initiate an immediate search for the bag. It was recovered BEFORE the train I'd left it on even arrived at Luzern!
Three days later the bag was waiting for me back at GVA for the normal lost-bag fee of another 20 CHF, its contents (including cash, electronics, etc) utterly undisturbed.
There are few places in the world where this would have been the case.
Thank God I was in Switzerland! ^ ^
