Yes, and this week alone I have handed in a camera, 3 books, and a pencil case with Nintendo games.
I also recently took my personal time (and money using my own mobile) to reunite a portfolio type briefcase with its owner.
It's wrong that it wasn't found on its original check when the aircraft was turned round at LHR, but it could be that it got caught up in somebody elses property and perhaps fell between seats, etc.
The fact that it was found and turned over to the police is proof that aircraft
are checked.
