Wowwwww I’m so so so grateful for all the things that worked well for me to recover my Mystery Box from an Odakyu Line train.
- Put Mystery Box up on the overhead rack in ShinYurigaoka
- Go to Shinjuku, reading Hacker News articles
- Arrive in Shinjuku with lots of time available
- Wait for escalator crowd to clear out.
- Casually walk to Yamanote Line
- Line up on platform for Yamanote Line
- Think about plans for today
- Oh shit the Mystery Box!!!
- Dart up the stairs to ticket gate level
- Run through the ticket gates to Odakyu Line
- Zip down the stairs to train level.
- Check the couple of cars on about to leave train (no box)
- Check a couple of cars on the next to leave train
- Find the Mystery Box! Yayyyy
- Stroll calmly and happily up the steps.
- The guy at ticket gate reset my Pasmo so I could walk through the gates
- Put the Mystery Box next to my bag while I write this on Yamanote Line so I will remember it.
- Thank you Future Rob for continuing to remember the Mystery Box!
