Most people who fly on passenger planes in the United States do not lose their luggage.Even if the luggage is lost,usually it is only delayed.Most “lost” luggage is found in a few days.Airlines search for the owners of unclaimed bags for up to three months.But when the owners cannot be found or the bags are not claimed,they are sold to a store in the small city of Scottsboro,in the southern state of Alabama.
About one-half of one percent of all luggage passing through US airports is unclaimed.Many of the missing bags,and what is in them,are sold at the Unclaimed Baggage Centre.Seven thousand items arrive at the store every day.
Tom Barnes,who was shopping at the store said,“I can go into any of the large shopping centres,like the international malls.I can walk through there for an hour and come out with three items.But I come in to this store,and then I come out with my car full of stuff.”
Brenda Cantrell,who works at the store,said,“The Unclaimed Baggage Centre is the only store in America that buys and resells unclaimed baggage from the airline industry.You would be surprised at all the jackets,Kindles,iPads and,you know,all kinds of expensive electronics.”
The store says it once sold a container for flowers for $80 that was found to be worth $18,000.And it says a painting it sold for $25 was later found to be worth $25,000.
