Put an AirTag in your day bag: a lost bag came back in under an hour

Slip a tracker into your day bag and suitcase. A traveller who left a bag on a train rack showed station staff its live location in Find My, and they had it back to him within the hour despite no shared language.

Check first: Personal experience; works with any tracker (AirTag, Tile, Android tags). Note the train line and station you boarded at.
