One woman received her lost luggage after nearly six days, during which she tracked it to local malls and McDonald’s. Meanwhile, the airline told her the bag was safely at its distribution center.

Some of us -- ever more, thanks to the aviation chaos this year -- know the gut punch of it not appearing.
Szybala had taken her first international trip in several years -- a month abroad -- and was flying back to D.C.'s Reagan Airport on December 28. She had bought an Airtag -- Apple's tracking device -- especially for the trip. In fact, the bag did arrive in D.C. the next day, December 29. But it would not be until January 2 when she got her hands on it. She took up United's offer to have the bag delivered direct to her home, rather than return to the airport to pick it up in person."That's where I made a big mistake, letting them hand it to a third party," she says.December 29 came and went, and Szybala didn't have her bag back. Then December 30, 31, January 1 -- still no bag.
Initially she assumed it'd be delivered to her the next day, but instead, she says,"I watched it go to McDonald's."Even on Tuesday, the day she got the bag back, she watched it visit a mall.United representatives were still telling her that the bag was in their distribution center, despite her proof to the contrary. One even told her to"calm down," according to the screenshot of a chat she posted on Twitter.
"The other bags [by the dumpsters] were gone. The resident who came to help said they'd seen someone taking them inside.""We were peeking in trunks trying to find [my case]. Then when I went outside I had a text from a courier saying he had my bag and was just around the corner. He met me in front of the building and brought my bag with him."

Benedict's 2013 Resignation Shook a Routine Vatican CeremonyThe reporter who was covering a routine ceremony by Pope Benedict XVI on Feb. 11, 2013, never expected what unfolded, or that her high school Latin would give her the scoop of a lifetime. Giovanna Chirri of the authoritative ANSA news agency was in a Vatican press room watching the event on closed-circuit TV when Benedict said calmly and in Latin that he would be retiring because he believed he was too old for the job. She recalls that she felt sick and that her leg began shaking violently as she phoned her Vatican sources to check that she had heard Benedict correctly.
