More than 27,000 items were lost by passengers and found at Toronto Pearson Airport in 2023, with laptops topping the list, according to the travel hub.
An entire storage facility in Terminal 1 is dedicated to holding the 27,506 items, and a corresponding team tags, stores, and connects lost items with their owners, GTAA spokesperson Sean Davidson explained.
Those items, more than half of which were returned to owners, stay in the airport’s lost and found for 30 days, due to space constraints.
“After that, depending on the value of the item … we either donate it or it’s salvaged,” Davidson said.
Most often, travellers mistakenly part with their items at security.
“We have an entire shelf of just laptops,” he said.
