Sorry to hear that especially being out of the country without your phone. I hope she gets it back but I also hope that she let the airline know what happened. Did she tell them? I think it's very important they know.
Yes, she let them know right away. That is why in her message to me she said they might be able to give it back to her when they go back through Paris on the their way home to Boston. They will be flying tomorrow (Tuesday), so hope to know by late tomorrow night whether she got it back or not.
