## Good to know

- The Atlanta Airlines Terminal Company runs the office. It accepts items lost in the common areas of the airport, including the TSA security checkpoints, and takes a free lost item report online.
- Use a personal email address on the report and describe the item in detail, because more detail makes a match likelier. When you email lost@aatc.org, put your report number in the subject line.
- The office holds a received item for 15 days from the date it arrives, because of the volume of items it accepts.
- TSA holds items left at a security checkpoint for at least 30 days. To claim one, describe it, say when you lost it and give its color, then collect it in person, approve someone in writing to collect it, or have it shipped at your own expense.
- After the 30 days TSA removes and destroys the memory of unclaimed electronics, so put your contact details on the outside of a laptop.
- Items left on an aircraft or at a gate go to the airline. American takes lost item reports online and searches for up to 30 days for something left on the plane, at the gate or in an Admirals Club.
- MARTA keeps its own lost property. File a report online, then email lostandfound@itsmarta.com or call 404-848-3208 to book the appointment its office needs. Items are kept for 30 days and are claimed in person with a photo ID, and the office is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
