Lost Item No.: 1096167 - John F Kennedy International Airport, New York, US

Greetings! I am asking your assistance to recover a cell phone which may have been lost upon deplaning from a Turkish Airlines Flight 1370 at JFK on November 27th at approximately 6:15 pm. The cell phone was placed into a carry-on bag about 10 minutes before touching down at JFK. I discovered that the bag was not properly closed (pocket unzipped when should have been closed) when I arrived at customs about 15 minutes after arrival. On discovering that my cell phone was missing, I immediately asked Turkish Airlines ground personnel to contact the flight crew but the phone could not be located at that time. Realistically, they had little time to look for the cell phone. I have filed a "lost item report" and am in communication with Turkish Airlines. The cell phone contains personal history (of grandmother, of mother, of father) that will be lost if the phone is not recovered. The following information may provides additional detail: Passenger Description Name: Stephen Michael Bauer Age: 63 Passport #: 513610376 Nationality: USA Place of Birth: New York, USA Date of Issue: 26 Mar 2014 Date of Expiration: 25 Mar 2025 Email: [email protected] Domestic Partner: Linda-Jeanne Elsaesser Domestic Partner Phone: (570) 801-0800 Flight Description Flight: Turkish Airlines 1370 Date: November 27, 2018 Leave Istanbul: 3:03 pm Arrive JFK: 6:15 pm Seat: 14B Cell Phone Description Type: Android Color: Black Number: 1 (202) 758-8005 Other: Encased on a protective “Otterbox” (www.otterbox.com) I am greatly appreciative of any assistance that you can provide! Warm Regards, Steve
