The iPhone was lying on the ground, in airplane mode, with its battery half full. The screen, fully intact, showed a $70 receipt for two checked bags on Alaska Airlines flight 1282.

A social media user by the name Sean Bates found the device while walking down Barnes Road near Highway 217 in Portland, Ore., he posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday.
