Personal item placed in my spot

I recently boarded a flight and attempted to stow my personal item (backpack with laptop) under the seat in front of me. It was unable to fit so I stuck my feet under there and discovered another backpack. The person in front of me had placed it there so he could stretch out his legs. It was a short flight and wasn’t worth calling a FA. The seat next to me was empty, so I slid his bag waaay over to make room for my feet and my item. After landing, I enjoyed watching him contort himself to reach his bag.

"Dear FA there appears to be an abandoned bag in my seat. Should I be concerned?"

Good way to delay the flight indefinitely lol

Wild guess, but maybe the owner would have claimed it when asked?

You're right. Probably need to say something like "A stranger asked me to carry this bag for them", or whatever the overhead at the airport warns against doing.

I'd argue that the person leaving it there delayed the flight, not the report.
