At this point, on the videotapes, YOU look like the bad guy who took an item not belonging to them and ran off with it. Even though your subsequent interactions with local staff don't support that interpretation.

The lounge staff didn't suggest that you leave the device with them?
IMHO, the person is already in NAmerica, at least I'm in the same continent. There's no need for immigration/customs clearance and the owner does not have to backtrack to NRT to pick it up.

You're right, I do look like the bad guy. But I'm trying to speed things up and make karma right.
