Even better question: why is this case of simple theft on the HN front page?

Edit: It was not the airline who stole anything, it was, allegedly, an airport employee.

Because using Find My beyond "did I forget my phone" is topically interesting for HN.

Interesting, what's the difference?

Slower page update, that tends to filter out this kind of ("news"-like) HN story. Things that pop up on the front page, and fall off 30 minutes later, will not show up there.

https://news.ycombinator.com/best takes it even further in the "slow" direction.

How did you see this story then?

Seriously, every time I ask that question that's the answer I get, because the guidelines say that "HN isn't just tech or business, it's anything that's interesting". So I guess someone found a case of theft interest.
