Bearing in mind all I did was nip into T3 Lost Property and take some snaps I'm someone in awe of all the kind words above and I thank you all for the sentiments expressed. It really was just a privilege to help one of our younger citizens. One other thing I did do, however, was pop over to T5B to see the lounge supervisor for BaxterStorey to thank his team. I don't think we know who handed in Teddy, but my hunch is that it was someone from BS. It turned out that I knew the supervisor - he used to work in CCR and promotion to supervisor took him to the other building. The simple kindness of strangers, and the relative efficiency of Bagport, saved the day here. Anyway I asked the supervisor to thank the team and let them know that their efforts with Lost Property is very much worth it.
And of course my thanks to bigwalrus, it could not have been an easy position for him to be in, but what he was able to do was to use the resources available to him to turn around a genuinely bad situation. I'm hoping the log book will provide an early reminder of "where is Teddy?" next time Teddy goes flying!

I guess is proof that the lounge isn't cleaned daily, but teddy is lucky that he didn't tangle with some of the wildlife there such as mice during his otherwise lonely nights spent in the lounge. It would have been a shame if he had been returned with a bite taken out of one of his legs.

What a lovely story - Mrs BBB and I are delighted it has a happy ending. We hope Miss Bigwalrus can settle now.
On another, sort of connected note, we were at check in E today about 6 hours before c-w-s by the look of it. How long has IB check in been separate to BA? The lounge angel said she couldn’t see IB gate information any more either. I’m intrigued why their respective systems seem to be moving apart rather than closer.
Looking forward to hearing more about pink bear’s adventures ��

@corporate-wage-slave I always wondered what you did for a living. Now I know. You’re superhero in disguise.
I love a happy ending.
