I posted a couple of yrs ago how I got off my EWR-LAX flight, went to check something out at the Intl Term and then when I went to get my cell-phone, I have a hip-click for it. It wasnt there. I retraced all of my steps no luck, was hoping somehow it fell and no one noticed it.

Back to CO and I called it figuring it would cost me a few $$$ but whomever found it would agree to part with it. No answer. L&F at CO LAX told me I was sort of lucky as the plane I cam ein on was towed to hanger for a total cleaning, so if its on there they will find it overnight.

I called my phone and some guy picked it up, I asked where and who he was and he said he works for CO cleaning the palnes in teh hanger.

He told me he would give the phone to his Mgr and to call back in 1/2 hr. I did and the mgr told me he would have it waiting for me at the L&F room in 1/2 an hr and sure enough it was, and besides my 2 calls my bill when it came in showed no other Calls being made on it.

So although the chances of getting something like this back its better, if the plane wasnt loaded up and flown as a turn around, and that you reprt the loss ASAP and alot of time didnt pass.
