Qantas does not actively attempt to return lost items even though travellers sit in allocated seats and leave contact details with the airline. Passengers are told to leave telephone messages describing the lost gear but are immediately told the items are unlikely to be recovered.

Qantas says other passengers are likely to take any valuables left behind in seat pockets.

However, the airline conducts regular auctions where passenger valuables are up for grabs ....

If this is true, consider me outraged.

Mods might like to consider a merge.

My bad - didn't realise it was already covered.
