On an AA flight to HNL I left my Ipad in the seat back (without a "find me" app). The flight landed at 6:30 pm. By the time I realized my mistake, it was 10:00 pm. By 10:30 pm I had filed an online report with AA Lost and Found (which as far as I know, is the only way to contact AA Lost and Found). My report gave the flight no., the seat no. and a description of the Ipad. I don't know when the plane had its return flight; but, if someone checked the seat back before the return flight, they would have found my Ipad. I had an upgrade to first class so I am thinking that, perhaps, it would have been a little bit easier for someone to check the seat back. It's been a week since my Ipad went MIA so, I am assuming that one of the following happened: (i) it was stolen by someone from AA; or (ii) it was stolen by a passenger. If anyone has any thoughts as to anything else which may have happened to my Ipad (or how I could get any more information out of AA), they would be much appreciated . I'm to the point where I think I need to be thinking about insurance claims etc. Thanks
Welcome to Flytertalk!
Find my Ipad is a standard feature of every Ipad unless you have specifically disabled it or ICloud. Otherwise yes, chances are high that it has been stolen. Similar to my experience above where it is likely that my headphones were stolen by SQ personnel or agents.
