you got VERY lucky in Germany but can't expect your carelessness to always be rewarded..........plat or not!
If you want your carelessly left behind goods returned to you, pay the postal fee for them............

They didn't even mention the issue of paying or the fact that it would cost so much, and I received a very nice letter from their housekeeping head along with my glasses. Maybe I just got lucky then. FWIW, I'm Plat with MR.
