A few years ago I had the misfortune of leaving my digital camera on a NW plane in MSP. After boarding, we had engine problems and had to deplane and go to another gate. In the confusion we left the camera under the seat on the faulty plane. We didn't realize it until we were at SFO. I called the next day (it was late at night when we arrived). Talked to SFO, MSP, NW. They had a crew member go to the (supposedly) plane and look in our row. Of course there was no camera there. I faxed pictures of the camera...and repeatedly called back but it never turned up.

I was very upset....on the camera were pictures of my six month old and his grandpa....the only pics we had of them together before he died.
