My wife lost her laptop at JFK Terminal 8 a few years ago during a hurried and short connection and surprisingly getting it back was a pleasant experience. American Airlines runs the terminal and the officers at their left/lost and found department are awesome. First of all (and this is rare in the airline industry) they have a phone number they actually answer with no voice mails or telephone trees. Plus once given the description of the lost computer they stayed in touch and when it got to the lost in found department (it was found by a restroom attendant within minutes of when my wife left it) it was easy to arrange to pick it up as thankfully she was transiting back through terminal 8 just a week later. All in all a great experience and I have to give a gold star to American Airlines for running such an efficient operation with friendly and helpful employees.

[@ctsxhp326]

I ran money through an airport and this woman rapidly approached me and the police officers that were escorting me to complain about this suspicious backpack she found left unattended in the bathroom. So apparently she was worried it may be a bomb and decided to take it and bring it to the police herself. So naturally they brushed her off, took the bag, and asked me if I was cool with taking a slight detour to lost and found once we hit the first floor. We get there, and there's this other really nice woman who was waiting by the lost and found ecstatic that we had her bag. I'm imagining a world where 30 seconds after leaving the bathroom she realized what she did and went back to get it only to have it stolen by the crazy old lady. Either way, turns out their lost and found system is pretty decent all things considered, even if the old lady thought it was a bomb. Imagine thinking that and then taking possession of it LOL.

I recently lost my phone at a resort in Florida. It was on the in-resort shuttle; my husband could see it moving around to all the stops. We called to let them know and got no feedback. My husband went to the nearest shuttle stop and just waited, but by then it got to the lost and found, so he went and they had almost 400 phones. They didn’t believe my husband when he described the phone, despite him being ON THE BACKGROUND, one of our WEDDING PHOTOS. HE’s the GUY. IN THE PHOTO. They actually said, “If you’re really her husband, call the phone.” Sooo he did. Then they finally believed him. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Made him sign more forms than for our apartment, and finally released it to him. He went all Dad on me then, “I hope you learned a valuable lesson,” but I let it slide, because he was really the MVP and saved the day.

Regarding the guy who ghosted: Its possible he got spooked. Returning things to people is already a bit scary - I once returned a wallet to a guy, except when we made the handoff he accused me of stealing the money that was in it (there wasnt any inside when i found it) and he got real hostile real quick. The only reason i turned out ok is because im 6'1 and also i pointed a gun at him - but the way Amy responded like "yeah i can literally meet you anywhere and anytime" seemed a little sus - especially given how motivated she was for just a journal. Even amy's initial response was weird. Normally when you return something to someone who isnt planning on mugging you with friends, the person gives up a little info or makes the situation less tense like "i live around ___ but if you want we could just meet up at broadway lafayette?"

The system actually worked for me. I left my wallet on the bus and they emailed me from the lost and found and let me pick it up a few weeks later. I was stunned that they actually succeeded in that. It helped that my wallet was unique and easily describable: light blue with lots of little pictures of bicycles.

[@katherynedarrah4245]

ANY lost and found system relies on one thing, FINDERS. Also, 95% of people who work on things like the subway (or any public transport) aren't going to bother turning things like journals in, or even opening them. They're just going to toss them out unless you've already called and had a BOLO issued for it. The reason why they turn in cellphones and SS cards and such is those things are IMPORTANT. You can easily go BUY a new journal, but replacing your social security card is a pain. TBH if you want your non-important items back, put a label either on the front or back (or ideally both!) with "if found contact " If I see that, I'm more apt to pick it up when cleaning my bus than if I just see ANOTHER discarded (to me) journal

[@RoundShades]

True. They should have gotten bricked phones and lost them with custom art on the back panel in acrylic paint including the owner's name. That would have cost 8 dollars a phone, not much more expensive than a journal

[@scottabc72]

@@RoundShades Didn't even need phones. Could have dropped just about anything even semi-important. Hell, most people won't turn in a phone (not counting drivers/operators) to a lost and found.

Someone brought up the biggest brain move that should’ve been obvious but simultaneously easy to not think of. Just give the attendants the item yourself saying you found this and it’s for lost and found, then later check up and see if you can retrieve it officially.

I spent about 5 minutes calling the phone and about 45 minutes arguing with Lyft until they finally reached out to the driver...who said he didn't have the phone.

Seriously? Good video as usual but here in Chicago I would think that anything lost on public transit is bye bye unless you notice right away. Case in point; I was on my way to a Blackhawks game and had a Jersey(sweater) in a bag. I got off the bus at the United Center and immediately remembered I left the bag. I chased the bus a block to the next stop and lo and behold a nice person saw the bag and saw my crazy ass running after the bus and handed the bag to me at the back door. That was a $300 oopsie...almost. Question to all: how do you lose your cell phone when it is glued to your hand and eyeballs?

I dont get how losing social security cards is such a common thing

I wonder if the system is more or less effective for things like cell phones that are more valuable.

[@MrMiddleWick]

Definitely more. Not just because it's more expensive, it's just that it's arguably the most important thing one owns. Meanwhile a random journal probably wouldn't even be given a second look before landing in a litter bag.

[@thekwoka4707]

Wow, Amy turned one of the items into lost and found and even THAT one didn't make it back?!?

Transport for London (The Tube and London's other transit) has a very similar set up with some very funny items as well!

The New York subway is now going to feel the power of KZbin! Their claims are going to jump up.

Get Amy on Jet Lag!

As a New Yorker, I am currently laughing at these insults against the subway system and Penn Station

[@arrax_s]

Amazing video!

[@cwill2127]

Lmao it’s actually hilarious the person DM’d you saying they found your journal and just never responded

[@wlinden]

I have never, never, gotten any lost items back from this.
