If you travel with luggage and packages that are similar in shape and color to others, if you do not count them carefully, it is very easy to take them by mistake. Recently, a passenger's backpack containing life-saving medicine was accidentally taken away by other passengers, but fortunately it was recovered by the railway police in time.
At about 16:20 on January 20, the police on duty at the Qiqihar Station Police Station received a call for help from Mr. Zhao, a passenger, saying that he had taken the backpack by mistake with other passengers and asked the police to help find it. Since the K50 train he was taking was about to depart, the police asked Mr. Zhao to set off first. Subsequently, the police contacted the passenger transport department to broadcast the lost and found notice, and at the same time retrieved the surveillance video to find the whereabouts of the backpack.
The surveillance shows that at about 15:27, after Mr. Zhao's black backpack passed through the security checker, a passenger stepped forward to take the backpack, and then the passenger passed through the ticket gate of the K50 train to enter the station to take the train. After confirming with Mr. Zhao that the backpack belonged to him, the police immediately contacted the police of the K50 train. Coincidentally, the police of the K50 train also received a call for help from Wu, a passenger in the No. 11 car, who also took the backpack by mistake. The police then took the two to the dining car for questioning.

It was confirmed that the black backpack that Wu brought into the car was indeed owned by Mr. Zhao. According to Wu's recollections, he planned to visit his son in Hangzhou on this trip, and he was quite excited, and the black backpacks of the two were too similar, so he was negligent and caused this "oolong" without carefully confirming the luggage. It wasn't until I was on the train that I was about to pick up something from my backpack that I realized that I had taken the wrong bag.
After checking that the contents of the bag were correct, the police returned the backpack to Mr. Zhao, and at the same time agreed with Wu that his relatives would go to the Qiqihar Station Police Station to pick up his own backpack.
