 Poster: A snowHead
|
... an editor or highly respected journalist in the South Germany/Austrian Tirol region? The only reason I ask is that my (now) heartbroken 12-year old daughter, daft little muppet that she is, managed to leave her lifelong teddy bear friend on one of the two trains we used in Germany (the second of which terminated in Innsbruck after dropping us off at Garmisch).
None of the lost property offices report finding it so we were hoping to launch an international sob story in the (vain) hope that some station manager has him sitting on his or her desk and hasn't yet handed it in to lost property...
Long shot, I know, but when it's your family that's affected, you'll try anything...

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I can picture the scene now: the guard says to the bear "Ihre Papiere, bitte!" and the rest is sadly history.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Austrian railway people, ORF TV, radio stations etc Maybe even try the UK media, they're usually suckers for stories like this and they'd certainly have the contacts out there.

My son lost his favourite moth-eaten child nibbled scraggily yellow blanket in the bed linen at the Shangri-La on Sentosa Island in Singapore 3 years or so ago. We rang the hotel from the mainland. They had it found, laundered it and rang us when it was available to be collected, neatly folded and packaged with the hotel seal, at the Shangri-La in Singapore city centre.

Can't say I can help but this is one of my nightmares turned reality!! That's just sent shivers down my spine!
My eldest daughter has a small fur toy that she find difficult to sleep without....many a times did my wife and I had very high stress levels when we could not find it...
So I really fell for you Carled, and your kid of course....

Thanks for the advice so far people. Will try it out tomorrow. Just find it really odd that someone could find it and not hand it in. I find it hard to believe that any mother would let their kid keep an obviously well-used teddy bear (with her name tag sewn on it!) so I have two realistic theories. 1. It was found by a bunch of teenage lads who decided to show how hard they were by playing catch with it until one dared another to chuck it out of the window or 2. It was found by a train cleaner who is an "immigrant worker" sort of person on a really low wage that saw it as a perk of the job and took it home for their own child. I suppose that option 2 at least has the redeeming feature that he'll be (hopefully) well loved by another child... albeit the wrong one... I just can't see any way that an official person has found it and merely not got around to handing it in, or it just hasn't been found yet... seems impossible.
