I got a call about 7 p.m. tonight from the United Airlines representative for the Air New Zealand lounge, and it seems a cleaner found an iPhone in a black leather case under one of the chairs overnight! From all description, it appears my iPhone has been found! Thanks to my calling ahead and giving a "BOL" (A "be on the lookout" from my dispatch days), I may have just lucked out.
Now, here's the not so good part. The representative asked how I wanted to handle it. I suggested I send some money to have it shipped back to the States. "We can't ship. When are you coming back to Australia?" was the reply.
As much as I'd love to come back, it might have to wait -- especially since Ian is insisting that he come with me "next time."
So I've made inquiries with a friend in Adelaide, and she might know someone in Sydney who can help but she's waiting to hear from her. A happy ending may be in the cards, but we've still got a few pages to go in this book ...

Why can't they ship it?
They didn't say why they couldn't ship it, but I suspect it's either that they don't want the liability if it goes missing again or -- considering the amount of property that probably gets lost there -- they would need to hire a dedicated person just to ship all the stuff that gets left behind.
