I dropped a fancy expensive fountain pen on the tracks once… it was really one of those moments where you see life in slow motion and you go noooooooo. I asked an employee and they sent someone out who climbed down and got it for me! They were super nice

Maybe it belonged to @edgore?

Stupid (or just funny) stuff you've taken through airport security

Just the one? Pfft. Let’s see…a carry on full of…umm…intimate accessories, many times usually to/from NY or chicago 2 desktop computers with 17" CRT monitors (checked, carried on 17" touch screen add-on for one that arrived too late to install B4 flight and a carry-on full of exotic electronic, including a prototype palm pilot cell phone that never came out. This was all one trip to Paris in 96, so before the madness)

Maybe…does it have a Badtz Maru luggage tag on it?

i was once so tired i left my backpack on the train and the train was gone before i realized what id done. talked to the person in the ticket booth, found my way to the world of lost and found, there’s my backpack no problem.

almost a fair trade for the time i got mugged while waiting for the train

I lost an older model iPhone that I use for my music on a Metro-North train into Grand Central that I commute on. Filled out the online form, recovered it at Metro-North’s Lost and Found room at Grand Central couple weeks later. I was super impressed.

I got to watch my favorite hat from McMurdo Station get swept from my head onto the CTA tracks-by the time someone could get down there it was just gone.
