She hadn’t even remembered that she’d left it there, she added.
In the comments, she said the iPad had been left there for about 12 hours and she was worried because the restaurant had many customers.
The first thing she did after getting the iPad was to install a password, revealing that it wasn’t even password-protected and its contents would have been vulnerable.

That’s the reason why she never fails to go back there every year, she added.
Even when one loses valuable items in public places, Japanese have no interest in things that don’t belong to them, she gushed in her caption.
In fact, she also lost her bag on the same trip, she revealed, but successfully recovered it as well.
