To the editor: The article on Metro’s Misplaced & Discovered workplace was reassuring, however the three-to-five enterprise day timeline could also be optimistic (“Misplaced your bike, cellphone or prosthetic leg on the Metro rail? Right here’s easy methods to get them again,” March 10). Once I misplaced my pockets on a bus, I referred to as repeatedly over a number of weeks with no outcome. Thirty days later, the AirTag on my pockets pinged — it had simply linked to WiFi on the Misplaced & Discovered workplace. Once I picked it up, employees defined that discovered objects accumulate in a field on the bus depot and are introduced over solely when an worker has time, which may take weeks.
The excellent news: My pockets was there all alongside. So don’t quit. When you’ve misplaced one thing, preserve calling — and in case you have an AirTag, watch it intently.
