Good news.
Was asked this morning by a fellow pax whether the wallet lying on the MEL J Lounge floor was mine - it wasn't, handed in and reunited with it's rightful owner about 3mins later. I've also accidentally left my laptop sitting on the bench while waiting for my flight to ADL - only realised when disembarking and I noticed my bag seemed lighter than usual. ADL lounge called the MEL Lounge, located the laptop and had it waiting for me when I flew back the next day.
Sure, there are some low-lifes around - and I wouldn't tempt fate - but generally it seems that *most* fellow travellers will do the right thing.
Regards,
BD
