I am an electrician. I was doing some work on the cameras at Harry Reid (formerly McCarran) airport in Las Vegas recently, and while crawling through the ceiling, I found a bag that had been traveling down the conveyer belt and it’s wheel had caught on a ceiling support wire which caused the bag to jump off the belt and stay in the ceiling for a few months. No one would have ever known about it if I hadn’t found it there. I flipped it back onto the belt and went about my day. If it doesn’t get to its owner, it’ll get auctioned eventually.
