Sydney T3 Security Checkpoint - lost property

[kerryww]

When you don't have your security checkpoint routine together, a security checkpoint at an airport is the perfect place to lose something.

This morning, 14/12, I passed through the Sydney T3 security checkpoint and I left my car and house keys in the blue tray. I called the lost property number on (02) 9952 9312 and left a message.

I was just wondering if anybody else made this mistake and what the outcome was. Do I have any chance? Or is there anything else I could do?

Thanks

I’ve heard the only way to recover property there (SYD) is go in person.

Welcome to AFF, Kerryww!
T3 has the lost&found counter near the baggage claims. I've left stuff behind the same way and got it back from there next time I passed through. Hopefully your keys are there, too, waiting for your return.

Hopefully you will be returning to SYD at some point so as you can collect.

And welcome to AFF. You may have more travel-related posts to share in the future, although perhaps not as dramatic as this one.

I see this happen often - I'm usually the person tapping strangers on the shoulder and telling them that they have left their wallet and phone on then tray.

Had a similar experience at T3 last year, but only left my Opal Card behind.
Rang same number and left detailed message.
No contact from them within a week, so I suspended my Opal Card online and requested replacement.

Not long after airport security was introduced, I was in an airport in the U.S. and picked up a wallet jam packed full of cash. Luckily, we found the owner. He pulled out a 50 and handed it to me. Thanks mate!

Thanks everyone for your feedback, it gives me some hope.

I still havent received a call from Security at T3 nor a call from Qantas lost and found, but still hoping.

I will keep you posted.
