I left a nice Bluetooth headset on board - no one's fault but mine.

10 minutes after deplaning I went back to 51B at LAX. No, I couldn't get back on and retrieve my property, I'd have to go online and fill out a form.

An hour at baggage services downstairs produced the same result.

A guy took my name and cell number but candidly admitted any actual follow-up was unlikely.

Is there any option I've overlooked other than self-flaggelation?
