A TikToker reported a lost item at Changi Airport and could not believe it when she received an email that the item had been found less than 30 minutes later.

The TikToker, who goes by Nim, expressed her amazement and gratitude to the airport in a video posted on May 26.

In the 52-second video, Nim said that this was a "only-in-Singapore story" that happened to her partner the night before.

The TikToker, who had moved to Singapore in 2022, recounted that her partner was flying out of Changi Airport and had purchased a gift in a duty-free shop.

"In his mad haste, he ended up leaving the bag on a bollard in the arrivals pickup area and my partner thought it was long gone," said the lawyer from Australia.

"But I had a look online and I realised that you could just mark an item as missing, so I did that with kind of no hope that it would be found."

She was referring to the Lost & Found page on the Changi Airport website where you can enquire about lost items on an aircraft or at the airport.

"Within 30 minutes, we got an email back from Changi, saying that they found the item and it was waiting for us for pick up," said the TikToker.

"Like I cannot believe it. We thought it was long gone. And I know in this instance, it's not a sentimental object by any means. Just the fact that they found it, and that no one else had obviously taken it, or maybe someone handed it in."

"It's insane. So very grateful. Thank you, Changi Airport. You're the best!"

On 27 March 1991, SAF commandos stormed a hijacked SIA plane killing all 4 hijackers with no injuries to hostages. The leader of the terrorists was shot 5 times in the chest, but tried to ignite his explosives. A commando shot him dead before he could do that. The entire rescue mission lasted 30 seconds.

I was a NSF in 1991, so that rescue of the hostages onboard SQ117 stuck in my mind. I wanted to contrast the 30 mins it took for the Aussie tourist to find his lost items vs the 30 secs it took for the SAF commandos to kill all 4 terrorists and rescue the hostages. LOL!
