Here\u2019s how to get them back,\u201d<\/a> March 10). When I lost my wallet on a bus, I called repeatedly over several weeks with no result. Thirty days later, the AirTag on my wallet pinged \u2014 it had just connected to WiFi at the Lost &amp; Found office. When I picked it up, staff explained that found items accumulate in a box at the bus depot and are brought over only when an employee has time, which can take weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The good news: My wallet was there all along. So don\u2019t give up. If you\u2019ve lost something, keep calling \u2014 and if you have an AirTag, watch it closely.<\/p>\n<p>Gil Solomon, West Hills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To the editor: The article on Metro\u2019s Lost &amp; Found office was reassuring, but the three-to-five business day&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":650479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[52736,347,80817,18393,1582,276,97257,7129,13941,276222,33879,2961,224,2444,5337,67687,5248,276223,87866,106182],"class_list":["post-650478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-airtag","tag-article","tag-bike","tag-bus","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-cellphone","tag-editor","tag-employee","tag-found-office","tag-item","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-losangeles","tag-lost","tag-metro","tag-prosthetic-leg","tag-several-week","tag-wallet"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116216754710558737","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
