A woman buys a lost suitcase and can't believe what's inside.

Losing your luggage while boarding a plane in Spain is not a pleasant experience for anyone, but unfortunately , it happens relatively frequently. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), 25 million suitcases go missing each year, and although the vast majority are claimed, some are separated from their owners forever, remaining in storage forever... or maybe not.

Very few people know that suitcases lost at airports that haven't been claimed for a certain period of time can be purchased at auction . That's precisely what influencer @beckysbazaar did, purchasing a pink suitcase at an auction for lost luggage at London's Heathrow Airport. When she opened it, she was amazed to discover truly valuable treasures inside.

What's inside a lost suitcase?

According to the influencer, all the luggage sold in these auctions remains unclaimed, despite the fact that "airports do everything they can to search for the owners for months," so sometimes all personal information is removed from these suitcases before they are put up for sale. Although the young woman admits that buying one of them carries a risk, as she has seen on two previous occasions, "it's a lot of fun."

Once she opened the suitcase, which was very large and very heavy according to the user, she discovered all kinds of treasures , from some sought-after black UGG boots to a pair of designer flip-flops, although she also came across some very curious objects, from an iPad to a set of Pokémon cards, as well as numerous items of clothing of all kinds (coats, dresses, blouses...) and personal hygiene products.

When she opened the overhead compartment, Becky also discovered some very unusual belongings, including comics, smartwatches for sports, and even a toy tractor. Of course, there were many items in the luggage that one wouldn't normally carry in a suitcase, but that made the experience of buying a lost suitcase and looking inside even more interesting .

Many people aren't familiar with these auctions, but they're still a great way to prevent suitcases from being thrown away with everything they contain. There are several websites where you can purchase these lots, and the price will vary depending on the size of the luggage or the number of suitcases it includes: Becky paid £130 for hers.
