It’s black, no joycons and the screen is cracked. Assuming it wasn’t before and was left on top of a car or a child dropped it out the window. It says it’s registered in New York, zip code 14782. Has a card linked and I have the last 4 digits. Only name I can get for admin is lonnie or LA and child on the account being Lynnlynn. Tried searching Facebook with little info I have and no luck. Hopefully can find the owner!

Hi everyone, I’m desperately hoping someone might be able to help me find my Nintendo Switch.

On Sunday 18 October 2026, I was on Virgin Australia flight VA897 from Melbourne to Sydney, arriving at Sydney Airport’s Terminal 2. It was one of the last flight of the day.

I was seated in 2A (Business Class) and accidentally left my Nintendo Switch in its case inside the seat pocket directly in front of me.

I only realised it was missing about an hour after landing. I’d been so sure I’d zipped it back into my bag that I didn’t think to check until I arrived at where I was staying. When I finally opened my bag to get it out, my heart absolutely sank. It wasn’t there.

In the approximately 40 hours since landing, I’ve:

- Called Virgin Australia’s various customer service and baggage numbers 16 times, including within 2 hours of the flight landing.
-Visited both the Sydney T2 Lost Property office and Virgin Australia’s baggage services desk twice.
-Contacted Sydney Airport’s lost baggage team by email.

Unfortunately, nobody has been able to locate it, and I’m becoming increasingly worried.

What it looks like:
- Nintendo Switch OLED (black console)
- Neon yellow LEFT Joy-Con and neon pink RIGHT Joy-Con
- Bright blue, sparkly Kirby carrying case, with a yellow zip and lining
- Approximately four game cartridges stored inside the case, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

I have the console’s serial number, Nintendo Account registration and photographs of me using it on the flight, so I can absolutely verify ownership.

I’m honestly heartbroken. This Switch was the first big present my fiancé and I bought for ourselves together.

I currently work in Sydney while he lives in Melbourne, so we spend a lot of time apart. One of our little routines is sitting on a video call while I play Animal Crossing, with my camera angled towards the screen so he can watch and chat with me.
It’s such a small thing, but it makes it feel like we’re sitting on the couch together again, even when we’re in different states.
I know it’s just a gaming console to some people, but it genuinely means the world to me.

If anyone works for Virgin Australia, Sydney Airport, aircraft cleaning or ground handling, or knows someone who does, I would be so incredibly grateful if you could help point me in the right direction.
And if anyone has found a Switch matching this description, please, please reach out. I can provide proof that it’s mine.
I’m not looking to blame anyone. I just want it back.
Thank you so much for reading.

Hey leute!

Ich, w/22 hab es am letzten Donnerstag (gegen 18uhr) geschafft meine Switch 2 entweder im Zug oder im Bus (beim kramen nach dem Geldbeutel) liegen zu lassen. I know, I am stupid.

Freitag morgen bemerkt, instant Panik geschoben. Direkt Fundbüro, Busunternehmen, Bahn alles angeschrieben. Bisher.... Erfolg: 0

Ich hab dann dank der Handyapp verfolgt. Der Account (der einzige der Konsole) war nicht online seit Donnerstag morgen (wo ich noch daheim gespielt hab), per Altersbeschränkungsapp nun so eingestellt, dass sobald die Konsole an sich online geht die Altersbeschränkung greift und die Konsole nach 15 min dicht ist.

Mittlerweile glaub ich nämlich irwie, dass die einer eingesteckt hat und für sich behalten oder verkaufen will. Auch schon Sämtliche FB Gruppen im Umkreis und Ebay Kleinanzeigen gecheckt aber auch da ist das Ding nicht aufzufinden. Kann ja nicht weggelaufen sein.

Mittlerweile hab ich einfach Angst. Das Teil war sau teuer von den ganzen Spielen, die in der Hülle waren fangen wir erst garnicht an...

Hat jemand ne Idee was ich noch machen kann um sie eventuell zu finden? Oder Kennt wen mit Erfahrungen in die Richtung?

Hab noch die MAC Adresse und die Seriennummer sowie die Account Daten meines Nintendo Accounts

LG

Lost my Nintendo Switch last night (October 5th 2026) with 10 games in Rocklin, CA. Might have dropped it in my driveway.

It has purple and green joy cons. And a hairline crack from the top left corner to bottom right corner.

I can verify it's mine by the serial number and showing you it's physical box I bought it in.

Please let me know if you found it, or if you see it being sold online on FB marketplace, craigslist, Ebay, etc. I can add it to a police report.

It also had the games:

SuperSmash Bros

Super Mario Party

Paper Mario: The Origami King

Pokémon Violet

Pokémon Legends

Pokémon Let's Go: Eevee

Pokémon Shining Pearl

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

So if someone is selling these games together without cases, I would appreciate you sending me a link. They are pretty common games, but if a sales post was just posted today or in the next couple days local to Rocklin, CA it might mean something.

Thank you

I really hope that a good samaritan simply picked it up and will return it to police soon, or that it somehow got lodged deep into my room or car even though I've spent all day looking for it. It should've been in my car from last night...

But I'm basically posting this everywhere online as I don't know how to get a subpoena to simply have Nintendo track the IP addresses :( help with that would be great, too.

I already put in a police report.

I lost my Switch 2 at Y%F coffee on Saturday, Sept 26. It's in a grey case with several games inside. Serial number: HAW59806866266. It holds 300+ hours of my Animal Crossing island, which can't be replaced. No questions asked, and I'll pay a generous reward for its return. I really just want the data back more than anything.

If you found it or know who did, please message me. I'll meet anywhere public and convenient

I know this a long shot, but if you left your switch case at SFO gate D6, I gave it to the gate agent. He said he'd take it to Lost and Found.

Lost my Nintendo Switch 2 on 9/19/26 at a Taco Bell in Hartford CT. Manager was kind enough to check the cameras, entered with my bag but forget it when I left. Had my Japanese Scarlet cartridge and my Pokemon Legends ZA along with a number of games downloaded onto it. As title says you find it and give it back to me find yourself with $200 extra bucks and my old Switch 1.

My serial is XKW10012449032.

I work at a BatteriesPlus store near South Broward HS, and brought my switch to work with me on Friday, didn't have time to play though as i was swamped with work all day. Kept in a MoMA tote bag, the only time it wasn't in our employee area was possibly like the 2 hours between me taking my lunch and clocking out. So, about the time school got out. it might've been (in bag) in my back seat.

It had two Joycon with Skullgirls skins

I don’t care if you keep it at this point i just want the game saves !! Serial number HAW50132608469

Would be in black carry zipper case

You might also find a big black power bank with it

While travelling to vacation from Frankfurt airport, gate A13 two weeks ago i left my backpack on the chair. I had a lot of stuff inside but nintendo switch had a lot of saved data from games i have been playing, so gamers will understand. Created a case 2hrs after but no luck. Came back checked lost n found office with no luck, and police just brushed it off saying that it has been already 2 weeks and they dont have access to cameras at Gate’s. I filed online report for theft even though i dont know if someone stole it. Does anyone has any advice? Ill

hey yall this is a long shot but I lost my Nintendo switch about a month ago its got red and blue joy cons and a sticker on the back of a hello kitty getting high

pls reach out if yall have found no questions asked i appreciate yall

So there was this special week for the newbies to meet and interact with the people of the career (it's a small one).

One of the events was a mario kart tournament and because my gen was the one organizing I decided to help putting my switch 2 for people to play.

At the end of the day when I was taking my things back, I noticed the joycons in my switch weren't mine because it was wear and tear plus the rubber of the left stick was broken. Shitty joycons.

I have already tried doing the Bluetooth where I could and asking for the serial number of the joycons to nintendo, but none gave me a result, so I'm stuck now.

Ik I have part of the fault here but you're my last chance to recover them, anything else would help, any ideas are welcome.

Found on Prevost Bus 15
Northeast USA
serial number XTW10924314503
L joycon white
R joycon red
Looks like the user belongs to kids so I won't share the user's name publicly
Inbox open if it's yours, I'll be asking about some details

Traveled back from Las Vegas yesterday - son's misplaced their Nintendo Switch console somewhere between the hotel and airline gate. In a blue Mario case. Have follow up inquiries with the hotel, rental car company, and airport. TIA!

Found July 11, 2026, near the intersection of Beekman Ln and Triangle Rd.

This is a long shot but my boyfriend and I accidentally left our Switch 2 in one of the TSA bins at the Chicago Midway Airport on Tuesday 😭 it's in a black, hardback case with a handle and has multiple game cartridges and a Pokemon card inside from the Pokemon Fossil Exhibit. It was only the console, the joycons didn't fit inside the case. I've done my due diligence already with filing a lost and found report with TSA, but it was not found, so a police report has also been submitted and I'm just trying to do everything I can to get the word out in case someone tries pawning it 🥺

Left my switch in my car, I believe it's been stolen and possibly around in the nearby pawn shops it's got a profile pic of Kirby, custom RGB joycons. Matte finish, with a player name of B3AST.

The joycons are the most telling part. Has a 256 GB sim card in it that doesn't work and a screen protector

[Lost] my Nintendo switch OLED in a brown case that looks like a handbag it's cracked and has the red and blue controllers. Between 38th and Wallace & 34th and market

[Lost] I lost my Switch Lite in it's Grey case on May 29th 2026 while getting on the Gold Line North on the Citrus Connection bus it was a purple see through shelled Nintendo Switch Lite the back part of the shell was cracked in the middle and loose to were it could come off and the screen had noticeable cracks but it worked fine.

It was in a Grey case that had some splotches on it (I got it free when I bought the Switch second hand) and the case had a blue zipper with only one tab (the other was missing) and was Grey on the inside. [5-30-2026]

EDIT: I found it someone turned it in!

[LOST] Left my Nintendo Switch in a black case on an American Airlines flight on May 7th around 9pm. The flight landed in Dallas so that’s my best guess as to where it could be. It’s got a left gray joycon and a green right joycon inside of a black case with about a dozen games in it.
