If you were in the Phoenix airport on Monday November 26

This is a copy from facebook:

Here it goes:
My name is Bridget Hughes and on Monday November 26 at around 12:30 a.m. I was at the B7 gate in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport waitin
g to board U.S. Airlines flight 2918 to El Paso. My flight was cancelled. In all of the chaos that ensued me getting my new ticket and my hotel voucher I lost one of the most valuable things I own. It is a simple knit brown floppy hat from the Gap (pictured below). My mother passed away from Breast Cancer when I was 7. This is the hat she wore most often during her chemo treatments. My aunt gave it to me when I moved away after I graduated from college. It was one the only possession of hers I could constantly carry with me. I checked the gate the next morning, the hotel, and my shuttle van. It was nowhere to be found. I've contacted the Phoenix Airport Lost and Found, but I doubt I'll hear back from them. So, I've turned it over to the power of social media, all for a hat that represents the fierce goofy independent spirit of a woman that is my mother. If anyone is willing to just share this status, I'll be really grateful.

I am at Sky Harbor (PHX) 4x a month. I suggest she goes (physically) to the airport lost and found every other day. I had a roller bag taken from a gate check trolley at Washington National. Took 4 months to get it back and that was totally because I got the local number for the baggage claim office there and generated a first name basis with 'Jeremy' who worked there.

Honestly, the airlines don't give a damn about missing personal effects. If you want it bad enough you have to put in the effort. Not passing judgement...just personal anecdotal advice.

Best,
