Since you filed a lost item report, all you can do now is wait. The airline does not have a resources to provide personal service to each of the thousands of people who lose items.

 

Make sure your lost item report included the laptop serial number. That is the key in getting it back.

 

This can take up to 30 days.

The best thing you can do is file the online report, and we've heard on this forum about a lot of items returned when people included serial numbers in particular, but at least other descriptive characteristics if there are any. 

 

They can't necessarily open the device and see usernames, etc. and the items also may not be found at the first opportunity so the tagging based on flight number alone doesn't seem to be sufficient. (i.e. that flight number could be three or four destinations in a day and with the deep clean in the evening at CMH in this case the lost and found service won't know which leg during the day the device was lost.

 

Good luck, I hope your item is returned. It does typically take a few days, so don't give up hope yet.
