My husband, toddler, and I (8 months pregnant) were travelling through Seatac airport on Wednesday, July 8th around 12pm, and my husband accidentally left a bag containing precious and irreplaceable 100+ year old family photos somewhere in the airport. He most likely left it at the rental car facility. I know for certain he didn’t have it when we got through security and I don’t recall him having it at any point after the rental car drop off.
The photos were in a 10x14inch flat paper bag along with a film poster. I’m extra concerned that might lead someone to simply think the package was trash.
My husband went back to the rental facility (about 30 mins later) and the car had already been serviced and rented out to someone else. The rental company said they did not find anything in the car or throw anything out. They also said they checked their trash cans. My husband checked the bathroom and the spot where he dropped the car off to no avail. We have filed a lost and found claim with the rental company, with the airport, and with TSA.
I am so distraught and heartbroken by the loss that I cannot stop crying. I’m not looking for advice on coping or acceptance, I’m just hoping against hope that someone can help me retrieve these treasured and irreplaceable photographs. If anyone can offer any help or guidance, I would be so very grateful. I’ll gladly offer a cash reward for the photos’ return.
