Unclaimed luggage after 90 days, and a family made a business of it.

Good for them, but some of those unclaimed items are astounding, like a Rolex watch and wedding dresses.

There is going to be some nice finds in there, because people usually take their best clothes with them.

“We’ve had more than one suit of armor come through, believe it or not,”

But how did folks forget that they had brought those items with them on a plane and not try to locate them?

I’ll bet 3/4 of that luggage has a name and address tag hanging on them right out there for anyone in the world to see. But the airlines and this store just don’t bother to return it to the rightful owner.

I lived in nearby DeKalb County for 15 years. Trips to the Unclaimed Baggage Center were often combined with going to Crow Mountain Orchard for fresh apples and cider.

In the earlier days you could get fantastic bargains there - fancy sunglasses for a buck, designer clothes, good luggage, cameras, etc. Then they started charging more for these items - I’m guessing that when Al Gore invented the internet it allowed them to find out what stuff was worth - so that by the time I left the area anything worthwhile was priced almost like new and we had stopped going there. Haven’t been in 20 years or more now.
