Update #2:
Just as I’m about to give up, called lost and found one last time…

There are good people in this city. My faith in humanity is restored. 🙌😇👍

Thank you cta and to the nameless Samaritan. I will 💯pay it forward. ❤️

Only 2% of lost laptops are eventually recovered…

Something doesn’t add up here… 🤔👎
