A happy ending
Leaving a high quality i7 laptop in security and flying 3000km away is NOT a recommended experience. :-( It was only that evening, after unpacking at home from the trip, that I realized what had happened.
I was convinced I would never see my computer again...
Nonetheless, I searched online and readily found the 'objets trouvees' site at Charles de Gaulle airport. I filled in the all the information and sent it the same evening I had lost my computer.
2 days later, to my very pleasant surprise, I received a response that my computer had been found! There were even to photos that confirmed that the computer was mine. (One was of the screen, showing my name, ready for logon!).
The service had an interface with Chronopost to take over shipping the computer internationally by courier, and I paid the service, which included insurance and was quite reasonable. Although my computer was delayed nearly a week in local customs, I did manage to have it released from customs.
In short, my unfortunate loss had a happy ending--and I thank 'objets trouvees' at Charles de Gaulle for an excellent service!!
Salut et Merci beaucoup!!
