My mother is staying with us for a few days. She took a cab from the airport Saturday night, and discovered a couple of hours later that she had left her backpack in the cab.
She was upset at first, then relaxed a bit because there was nothing in her backpack that she couldn't do without for a few days. Her kindle was in the pack, so we found her some hardcopy books to read.

adrian_turtle got in touch with the cab company, who told her that anything left in a taxi was turned over to the airport police. So they filled out forms online, and this morning got a phone call saying the Boston police department had Mom's pack.
This afternoon, my mother and I took transit to police headquarters (green line B to 66 bus and then a bit of a walk), and retrieved her bag, which also contained a folding walking stick, which Mom used for the trip home. They don't have a lost property department--this is just for things that people have forgotten in taxicabs.
The walk was useful exercise for me and my mother, and by the time we got back to Brighton I was very glad to sit down.
