Using travel docs in the bags and facebook, we were able to find the Belgian tourists, who thanked me with their hometown brew and insisted I contact them if I visit Belgium.

The third bag had a passport and visa from China, so I took it to the Chinese consulate and happened to see the person who lost it (crazy, I know). I’m not looking to make a habit of doing things like this, but I can’t express how much joy and satisfaction was felt by both sides of these situations.”
