Of course the time scale could have been very short, between take-off & the crew being notified by ATC that they had left something behind, but I would have thought most pax would have seen fit to alert the CC P.D.Q, after one of these round black things was seen flying off.
Maybe the pax concerned had been lurking here on PPrune and had seen some of the posts by the more 'exalted' occupants of the pointy end who appear to believe that even the CC have no business 'interfering' in their progression through the sky, never mind the unwashed who ultimately pay their wages. They may have decided 'no one will listen to me anyway, I'll just sit here and shut up'.
(Recognizing that by no means all, or even the majority of, pilots retain such attitudes, and with tongue somewhat in cheek)
