Horizon Air Relocates its Lost and Found Center to a Home in Portland

Passed along without comment.

Police say a Nevada man who lost his iPad on an airplane used an app called Find My iPad to locate it inside the Oregon home of a flight attendant.

…The flight attendant for Horizon Air allegedly told officers that a passenger brought her the tablet saying it was found on a seat. She said she never used the iPad and planned to turn it over to airline officials, but police found some of her personal information on it including her husband’s birthday.

  1. That is probably where my brand new phone ended up when I accidentally left it in a seat back pocket after my PDX-SEA flight last year.

  2. @wakeupgolfingboy – Oh, I take full responsibility for losing the phone. Good thing it was only $100 for me to replace it. It was a sarcastic post jesting at that FA for her crime.

  3. The police found the iPad. But, regardless of right/wrong, is it a crime for an FA (or anyone, really) to not turn a lost item to lost and found? Or, is it just an embarrassment?
