Robert Pattinson Actor

INDEFINITELY MISFILED

Still photos causing delays at terminal luggage office

Existence confidence provisional
A generated photo of an anonymous stranger. It is not the person named.
Robert Pattinson holds a disposable cup of tea at a food court table in Manila, studying a leather jacket laid across the seat beside him with the precise intensity of a film director reviewing dailies.
Location
The lost property depot behind Estación de Buenavista, Mexico City, beneath a Frida Kahlo mural
Currently
Cataloguing unclaimed leather jackets. Finding his own repeatedly.
Last confirmed sighting
Arranging coats by colour gradient, not speaking, last Tuesday
Observations
Has developed the ability to stare at a cardigan for exactly seventeen minutes without registering its existence.

Robert Pattinson arrived at the lost property depot behind Estación de Buenavista on October 14th, accepting a clerical position he did not actively pursue. The depot manager, observing his face, assumed he would be useful with unclaimed items. She was not entirely wrong, though Pattinson has yet to remove his leather jacket, despite it being lodged three separate times in the returned-goods system.

"I keep finding him just standing there holding a biker jacket that isn't his," said Miriam Flores, a municipal logistics officer who works the adjacent terminal. "He doesn't argue about it. He just sighs very slowly and puts it back. Yesterday it came through the scanner again. He looked at it for twenty minutes like it had personally disappointed him."

Pattinson is currently attempting to implement a filing system based entirely on fabric weight and the age of stains. Progress is minimal. A motorcycle helmet claiming to belong to a 1987 Ducati has now been cross-referenced four times. He has not yet spoken to a single customer, preferring to communicate through increasingly elaborate hand gestures.

Guidance for the public

Do not attempt to reclaim items while he is on duty. He will find them again.
