Land of the Lost…and Found

[sheaser]

Southwest Airlines moves a lot of people every day. Those people carry a lot of stuff with them. So if you lost something on a flight, what are the odds of someone you know finding it?[asset|aid=240|format=image|formatter=asset|title=RBRiPodLogoSmall.gif|width=177|height=177|resizable=true|align=right]Southwest Airlines moves a lot of people every day. Those people carry a lot of stuff with them. So if you lost something on a flight, what are the odds of someone you know finding it? Well that is what this episode of Red Belly Radio is about, two Employees, Ginger and Paula, traveling on the same plane—just not together.

After working in Southwest Airlines Baggage Service Office I realized the more information you give in detail about the item you lost the easier it would be to identify once located. I encourage anybody who will listen to put those return address labels on everything from your cell phone, camera, passport,laptop,cane, wheelchair, walker,purse,wallet,video player, i-pod, walkman or any item you have that you would like back if lost. If anything found or turned in has a name on it we will page you in the airport or hunt you down through your travel history. If you loose something do not have a secretary, wife or girfriend call. Third party inquiries are too much trouble. I have lost my cell phone 3 times and if it had not been for that sticker with my info I would never had it returned to me. The back of my drivers liscense has my cell phone number on it with a Sharpie marker and yes I have been called when I left it at a vegatable market. If something is lost and it has a name on it with contact information it is less likely to be lost forever.

This is all great and all BUT Anyone who wants to return something to you, will! It shouldn't matter if your info is posted on lets say...a phone...or not. Unfortunately everything that I have ever lost on Southwest, has been lost for good 😞

I lost a blue pen with ND on the clip part, sentimental reason for return I flew from houston to chicago midway yesterday which was june 24th

[Narayana_Vennav]

I was traveling from Oklahoma City to Dallas Love Field (On my way to houston,tx) on 28th June,2010, monday on flight no.1257. I was carrying a Laptop bag. It does not have laptop inside it but it has all my certificates(my masters degree, bachelors degree, some training certificates), my resumes, passport, visa, and some other important things. I was actually returning from an interview from Oklahoma City. After boarding the flight, we were told that there was some bad weather in Dallas and hence the flight would be delayed for an hour. I got off the plane and after that the flight started a little earlier than previously told and I missed the flight. I approached the local Southwest employee and he informed a Dallas Southwest baggage claim employee about my luggage. I was told that the employee in Dallas woudl pickup my bag and put it in the next flight to houston and arranged my flight to houston. So I come to houston and wait at the baggage claim for about 4 hours, all the while checking with the houston baggage claim employees. But to my deep disappointment, I could not trace the bag. I have filed a lost and found report and calling every possible number to trace the bag. While the whole Southwest staff have been more than helpful, some going out of the way to trace it, (Ex: Ray in Dallas Baggage claim, Bill at the Central Baggae claim in Dallas), I am still looking for the bag. Could any one let me know if they found a blackish brown laptop bag with no shoulder strap, with a passport, visa degree certificates etc. My Cell no is (361) 228-8222. email: narayana.vennavelli@gmail.com I am really desperate to get it back. Thanks.

LOST DOLLS - My daughter lost her 2 most precious dolls on a Southwest flight into Dallas Love Field on July 3... These dolls are old and are different from each other. They are around 9 inches in length, and the slightly larger one has straight brown hair and removable clothes (was wearing a red plaid shirt and brown pants). The other doll has brown hair in braids and is wearing a blue dress that cannot be removed. These dolls are the first things my daughter went to unpack when we got home. If you picked up these dolls, please return them. We are offering a $20 reward for the return of the correct dolls. 214-621-0666

On June 24 I flew into Orlando International Airport on flight 303 from RDU/Raleigh NC and I left my bible in the pocket in front of the seat. The flight was full and we sat to the back of the plane. It is a New King James Version/Open Study Bible in a reddish cover with a handle and zips all around. You would not know it is a bible unless you unzip the cover. This bible means alot to me, it has notes --highlights--and family pictures in it. I called every baggage area the plane flew into that day---but no one turned it in. I can't understand how or why it would not have been turned in--anyone who opened it would have been able to see how personal and precious it is to the owner---Please--Please turn it in--or contact me at gracemercy4ever@yahoo.com.---Or maybe it is still in the pocket flying the friendly skies--and if it is never returned I hope whom ever has it is blessed by the Love of God that is expressed in its pages---just know my tears are in those pages.

[LOURDES]

Lost a 8x11 inch daily planner on 8/1 a flight to Denver (where I got off) which I think went on to Tucson. Would really like it back has info useful to me.

[Anonymous843]

Lost DVD/CD case -- Sunday, August 8, 2010 on a flight from Houston to Albuquerque! Black case with "Pimsleur" on the outside. Will pay shipping costs to get it back!!! 512-338-1206. Thanks!

[Vi_p_moreno]

I left my bible in the seat pocket on Flight 303 from RDU to Orlando on June 24, 2010--and I have yet to receive it. I can not comprehend anyone wanting it or keeping it. If the staff "sweeps" the cabin it should have been located and turned in or did they just toss it. Or once it arrived in Dallas the staff just sent it off to the Salvation Army--I don't know. I have called several time to the central location and today the Rep was rude--I have almost given up hope on ever having it returned. I don't think Southwest airlines even cares about lost items they just ship them to the Salvation Army or throw them away.

I believe I left my Samsung Behold cell phone on flight number 3417 from Minneapolis to St. Louis, then continuing on to Dallas. It has a clear case with a crack on the upper left hand side. I have left my information with several different people, but obviously need to get this back ASAP.

It has pictures of my newborn baby girl on it as well as precious video of my two year old son. It was in a black Mophie case (the case charges the phone so it makes the phone thicker then a normal iphone). The pictures on the phone are very important to me. I am offering a reward and no questions asked. Please contact me jennoneill05@hotmail.com

Left my Cannon T190 Digital SLR camera on flight 79 from Las Vegas to Chicago November 8 2010 . I've called several times, but they've now asked me to stop calling and they will call me should the camera be found. What are my chances? I mean I know the items go to Dallas facility, are they just sitting there? are you understaffed? are they honest? I'd like to think people are good and my camera will be found..It's disheartening to think that it is gone...

I lost my 35 mm EOS Kodak camera on a southwest flight on 11/23 from Tampa to new Orleans. It didn't have a case or a cap for the lense. It didn't have too many pictures, maybe 10 from my daugthers play from school. The flight was going to Houston in case that someone found it, please contact me to my email address. It was a Xmas present from my husband and being taking a lot of pictures of my family. I'm heartbroken.

[blusk]

Hi everyone, I know that some of you are using this posting as a bulletin board for items you may have lost, which is all well and good, but you need to make sure that you are letting the Baggage Service agents in your destination city know of your loss (the more complete your description, the better.) One problem in returning your items to you is when folks may see your articles and take them off the airplane. It we don't have your item(s), we can't return them to you. And, if you find an item onboard, please give it either to our Crew Members or to one of the folks in your destination station. Brian

[carrie_morris]

My son left his PSP on flight 404 from Milwaukee to Tampa on 12/10/2010. I reported it to airline but have not heard back. We are just sick about it! If anyone happens to find it please email me at carrie_morris78@Hotmail.com. I know there are still good people out there. Pleade help!

[April9]

Lost: A small flash drive on a flight from Los Angeles to Chicago on 11/30/2010. It is looks kind of like a key chain. It black and silver with the word "Staples" embossed on it. I believe it fell out of my bag when I shoved it underneath the seat. It holds no real value other than hold some personal documents most improtantly all the information for my mother's funeral. I am heartsick about losing it. If anyone found it please contact me at at2317@sbcglobal.net. I don't have much but I would be willing to offer a reward. Thanks.

[Jason5]

I left my IPad with a black Apple case in the seatback pocket on SW1065 (Las Vegas to Albany) on Thursday, December 9th. I put in a lost and found claim with SouthWest Baggage Service agents in Albany and provided a complete your description of the item. Every previous experience I have had with Southwest has been excellent - bordering on phenomenal; however I was informed that Southwest will not provide a phone number to the lost and found office in Dallas due to anticipated call volume. I fully understand that I am at fault here...I should have been more careful. I also realize that managing a lost and found call center of this size would be a daunting and expensive task. Regardless, I still find it frustrating that the lost and found claim is stuck in limbo. Not sure how long to wait before I bite the bullet and purchase a new IPad??? On a positve note....I am confident that if anyone can assist in returning my property it is Southwest Airlines. You folks still totally rock!!!

[Barbara_Broach]

On Tues 11/16/10, I lost a tan totebag with family pictures in it and my name and address are on a envelope in the bag.I was on a 7:30pm flight from Orlando to BWI so could have left it in the plane or at baggage claim area.Hoping to get these pictures back.

[queentravel]

New to the site but trying everything I can. My sister lost a very precious family Rosary on a flight December 11th from BWI to Ft. Lauderdale, about 1:00pm. She was holding it and fell asleep. When she stood up she forgot and dropped it. We've called Ft. Lauderdale and the connecting terminals to check no luck. This is so important to the family. It's a brown Rosary wooden beads very used. Any thoughts or suggestions, I would appreciate. Reward available. Thanks!

They are in a black hard case about 2 inches tall in a half circle shape. The glasses were in a soft drawstring bag inside the case.

I really need my glasses back! THANK YOU AND HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY!!

[Jeremy_White]

I left my iPad on a SWA flight 12/23/10 that was cancelled in NM and redirected to Phoenix. I was sitting on the isle if the emergency row over the left wing. It was bad enough to have our flight cancelled and sent to another destination, but leaving my laptop onboard really put me over the top. What steps can I take to find it in NM or AZ?

[blusk]

Jeremy, I'm sorry about the reroute, sometime they are necesary to ensure the most Customers reach their destinations, especially when we face a large weather disruption somewhere on our system. As to your laptop, please give the Baggage Service Office at your destination all your information. Brian
