Sara Wahedi’s Heathrow Laptop Hunt Turns Headlines
Sara Wahedi, CEO of AI startup Civaam and Oxford postgrad, has been on a frantic mission to recover her lost MacBook at London’s Heathrow Airport. Tracking a missing laptop at one of the world’s busiest travel hubs is no small feat, and her story quickly caught fire on social media.
Reality Check – The Laptop Still Missing
Things took a twist. On contacting Heathrow’s lost property, Wahedi found out the laptop wasn’t actually on record. The airport’s earlier claim was premature or mistaken.
“I just called and they say they don’t have my laptop. What’s going on?”
Frustrated but undeterred, Wahedi hit Heathrow in person, spending three hours hunting through the lost property department. There, she finally spotted her unnamed MacBook on an internal database.

Her takeaway? “If you’ve lost something, go and try to get it in person.”
Why All the Fuss Over One Laptop?
For Wahedi and supporters online, it’s not just about the cost of the laptop but the precious data inside — holiday snaps, work files, passwords, and more. Some things, they say, are simply irreplaceable.
“A laptop isn’t just money — it’s your life’s work and memories.”
