I have a bad back, I also have a bad habit of forgetting my back pillow. I was very surprised that at least in SLC they ship a box of forgotten items daily to ATL for sorting before it goes to Alabama.

That is every 24 hours a box is packed up and shipped out. I was very surprised at the frequency as it used to be a week. With the last forgetful moment it was my flight into SLC where I live and I had another flight in a coupe of days. So I planned to go out to the airport a couple of days latter and check the lost and found.

One can not call - one has to go in person or it goes to ATL. So I went out and the box was already packed up so the guy had open it up but no luck. A trip for naught. Insult to injury I had to pay for the !@#$% 20 minutes of parking.
