Moral of the story, call the ground staff at the arriving airport. They may have it.

I am happy for you.
Maybe because I am a lowly 1K, and not Global Services...? I called the airport about an hour after landing at LAS, while driving my rental toward Zion NP.
My question was "Other than electronics..." because it seems that only electronics are returned.

Lots of successes in the lost and found thread:
UAL Lost and Found?
.
The first time was in 2017 (on a return flight from HKG), the second in 2019 (on a return from CUN) and the third time was on March 15, 2021 (ORD to LAS).
Every time I was flying in First/Business, each time I filled out the online form within a few hours after landing, and I also walked to lost and found luggage as well as to the checkin counters. I replied, emailed and called multiple times.

Based on this thread, only electronics are returned.
Again, these were clothes in a clothes bag, with my United Elite tag containing my Mileage Plus number, phone number and address. Twice I left clothes in the Business/First closet, the last time in the overhead bin over 1E/1F.
It has been four years since my first incident but I am still waiting, patiently...
