Ok fedi we have a weird problem.

We’ve lost our Laptop (M1 Air Gold) in an ICE to Vienna last Friday. Have submitted lots item reports to DB and OBB but nothing so far.

But we still get occasional FindMy locations. Always on train station, always on the move for most of the day, always different trains.

We’ve tried chasing it around, but between infrequent updates and low accuracy it’s not much we can do there. Driver didn’t know about it.

Since it’s always on trains, and always on different ones around Austria, we assume it’s with some railway employee, that hasn’t handed it over to Lost&Found? It’s the only thing that sorts makes sense, but we’re just confused tbh.

Edit:
We used the tracking to find where they lived an put a poster on the front door of their apartment complex.
They called us the next day and we met up yesterday.
They were a train attendant that grabbed it, didn't have the opportunity to drop it off at Lost&Found and then forgot about having it in their bag.

Anyways, we are very happy to have it back

Any other tips?

@phos Anderes Gerät nehmen, alle paar Minuten Find My Screenshoten, wenn es ein Update gibt schauen welcher Zug im Fahrplan dort zu der Zeit war.
@f2k1de pretty much what we’ve been doing, but updates seem to come at best every 10min sometimes none for for hours.

Times also seem off sometimes, or location so it’s tricky to see which train they’re actually on.

Today we’ve identified them being on an REX with high confidence twice, first the REX 1, then the REX 8.
Medium confidence of it being on an S-Bahn in between
