@Telo: I believe it's heroic for people to do their jobs well. She could have made any number of poor choices to do her job less efficiently, less proactively, or even less morally. Any person anywhere can make poor choices. And poor choices are small moral compromises that inevitably lead to much worse things.

Your comment reminds me that my praise should be more broad—everyone involved with getting my laptop from that plastic bin to the Lost & Found dept (and beyond) deserves the props.

Thanks for commenting,

Are we that used to incompetence that we heap praise on a lost&found employee that simply does his/her job?

What a story, the time on the plane must've been horrid. Happy to hear you got your gear back.

And Asia is a superstar!

You can totally get root access on an OS X machine if you're sitting in front of it. Just hold down Cmd-s (for single-user mode) during boot-up.
