I had something similar happen and never got a call.

A group of 6 of us checked in and checked 9 bags. We got to our destination and 9 bags arrived. It was at that point we realized we actually had 10 bags. That 10th bag never got tagged, it got left at the baggage checkin at the departure airport.

I had a real hard time getting Delta to open a lost bag claim because I did not have a claim number.

Despite the bag being tagged with my name and phone number I never got a call.

Three weeks later I got a letter in the mail from the Orlando airport lost and found. They had my bag the entire time and wanted to know how to get it to me.

Odds are if the bag is found, a letter will be generated, not a phone call.
