Story is in a rush to geta connecting train I left me work bag on the train. Got a few nice things in it like a laptop, PSP etc.

Worst thing is that my keys [and address ] were in their too.

Not sure that I'm insured, any one with some fine ideas.

PS have contacted the train company and they had some one search the train when it arrived, no joy.

Your fcuked mate,

Get locks changed and phone insurance company, should be ok i left a camcorder on the bus once and claimed no bother, all i needed was a crime No from the Feds.

Good luck.

lets hope a good samaritan picked it up.

Suresh

Bad luck fella. Hopefully someone decent will hand it all in - it does happen!

I've left a camera on a sailing boat in Australia and dropped a phone on the piste in Switzerland before and both items found their way back to me within a couple of weeks!

Tell that to the theiving ******* who had my dive log book away. It's not like it's worth anything at all and if they used the cert cards to go diving I hope they ******* drowned.
My whole dive history from the begining lost forever.

Might be worth phoning the stations the train stopped at in case someone took it off the train and handed it in there instead.

Do you work for the government? If you do, then the laptop is probably in the hands of The Sun so they can do an exclusive scoop on sensitive documents being left on a train

Hope it gets returned- only in this country i very much doubt it.

A couple of years ago I was visiting a friend who was at uni in paris. We were on our way to an oasis concert (cancelled) and he left his wallet on the metro train that night.

Went back to his flat, cancelled all his cards etc and resigned himself to having lost it.
Next morning, get a phone call from some french guy- he had found it on the train, and used the uni ID card inside to track him down. Met up with him that lunchtime- not a single centime or franc missing from inside- and the guy point blank refused any cash for its safe return- just asking for a hand shake and promise he would look after it from now on! We were amazed!

Gutted, never done it before and have only been working in the smoke for a couple of months....bah.

Didn't phone the station but someone else who got the conductor [or whatever they're called] to phone me back.

We'll see tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Keep trying I have done this twice (divvy I know) and both times I have got my case back.

Two months ago I left my bag on the train. Phoned the station at the end of the line and they said it could not be found.

Checked at lost property who said it would not be sent in for at least three days if it was found at any station.

A week later got a call to say it was in lost property can I collect it.

You may be lucky, maybe not, but the train companies' lost property dealing is a bit like the twilight zone.

Best of luck.

Oh, and the other time - they found it as the train had not even got to the next station and I went to collect it.

Leslie

I hope you get lucky and get the bag returned, but these it has to be regarded as unlikely. Such a find is more likely to be considered as a windfall with no thought for the original owner.

look out for "controlled" explosions on the news

You Brits whine about everything don't you? Twice my son left his gym bag on the train out of Lisbon, neither time was it ever found. Contents - used shorts and T-shirt, and a £20 pair of trainers. What kind of loser nicks that?

Fuzz - if al-Queda mount another submarine attack on a US warship, don't answer any strange knocks at the door or you won't see your family for 3 yrs

Update:

Got me bag back, at Waterloo lost property. All's well until I check the contents and see that the PSP is missing . Nice to have the bag back but the person [this is speculation of course] who handed it in is ultimately a thief regardless.

Roo [not as happy as he should be]

SiPie

....and you are stupid for leaving it

Have a nice day

Brendan Hughes

Well I can understand the unhappiness, but leaving a grand's worth of laptop and taking a 200 quid PSP is not SO bad surely?

Simon C

A psp can be replaced, I doubt vey much the contents of your HHD can be as easily.

Glad you got it back - my last episode was with Waterloo lost property. Given their organisation it is amazing they find anything!

Sorry to hear about the PSP

Suresh

Good news that you got it back. Glad someone was decent enough to return it. For all we know the Lost Property staff may have stolen your toy .

To be honest mate, I doubt very much doubt the person who handed it in pinched your PSP - the fact that they returned the bag with the other more valuable contents suggests they are a person of good will and conscience and, at the very least, you think they'd be smart enough to realise that handing it in would have meant that they could be identified in any criminal investigation that might result. Most likely someone else helped themselves to the PSP or -much as I hate to sugest it- light fingers in the lost property office. I'd still consider taking the applicable security precautions lest someone undesireable did get hold of anything sensitive prior to giving it back or- more likely- it finding its way into the hands of a good samaritian.

Only a shrink could think of that - nice one! Nicks his PSP to get him concerned about it and distract his attention from the fact that they've copied his keys!

Evil buggers around these days

Scooby Roo

OMG never thought of that..............................

Runs out to change the locks












NAH paranoid enough over the weekend to do that


Not bothered about the laptop cos it was the companies and all me stuff is saved on the hard drive [use Synctoy to work elsewhere....oh dear getting sad and tecky]

Thanks for all the kind thoughts tho'

And to the rest.. Yep I am stupid but ya can't say that you ain't left anything behind..................ever. Therefore from one stoopid to another I'll not do it again in a hurry.
