Just prior to descending into MZT when the FA's are going through their spiel about how to fill out the Mexican immigration forms a guy rings the call button in a bit of a panic. Seems he can't find his passport and thinks he mistakenly left it behind in the SEA (after setting it down paying for some food) after being checked in at the gate by the agent.
So we get a message off to Dispatch who tries to forewarn the agents in MZT and also informs us that the POS lost & found is closed on weekends - so if somebody found it they probably put it in the slot for the secure box.
This guy is traveling with about a dozen friends/family to come down for a number of days to celebrate his birthday (I neglected to find out if it was a milestone or not - he had other worries).
Mexican customs/immigration refused to let him in the country and the outbound flight back to SEA was already booked full - so birthday boy slept in a locked room at the airport with only his carry on luggage available to him. They fed him french fries & water and we carried him home with us this afternoon (departing 25 hours after our arrival yesterday).
I lost track of him as one of our agents was escorting him to US Immigration with the explanation. He'll be missing out on the fun as his friends/relatives apparently will have birthday celebrations with him in absentia.

This is a very bad news because man wants to celebrate his birthday with his friends at his nation but Mexican customs/immigration refused to let him in the country. And he remains there.
