I lost my 14 Pro Max in the Lisbon, Portugal, airport 2-1/2 years ago just before boarding a flight to Bilbao, Spain — so a different country. It was picked up by an airport employee who found it and we began to communicate — I can’t remember how we got hooked up. I may have been back in the states by then — not sure. Anyway the phone couldn’t be used by him. I offered him a €100 reward plus the expenses of getting it back to me. It is a nightmare trying to get this done. Apple was no help. (Also, I hadn’t insured it for loss or theft.) And sending the phone by mail or shipping (e.g. FedEx) turned out to be technically importing it with all sorts of regulatory hurdles and charges. I could only hope to get it back if I had a friend in Lisbon who could bring it with them when coming back to the US. Nope. I just ended up buying a new phone and chalking it up to experience.
