As a data point, I am in the process of being reunited with an iPad Pro through the MissingX site. The item in question was left on a domestic flight to T5 last November.
I have to say that I've found the whole MissingX experience a struggle: I initially reported them item missing 24 hours after the loss. I didn't hear anything back (they say 'don't contact us, we'll contact you') until - somewhat bizarrely - Christmas Day when I received an email from them asking for serial number, description etc.
I sent these details to them immediately but heard nothing further. I presumed it was gone for good until I noticed this thread and randomly went back to check my case on the MissingX site. And there it was, showing as 'found'!
I had to call-in to claim, but they have confirmed they have the item and are sending it to me via courier free of charge courtesy of being a GCH.
So it pays to keep checking back in. The only downside = my justification for buying a new 12.9" iPad Pro has been shattered.
