Your lost belongings, including that favorite shirt left behind during a flight to California, might be on sale at the Unclaimed1 Baggage store in Scottsboro, Alabama.
Operating for over 50 years, this 4,600-square-meter store houses items leftunclaimed for at least nine days by airlines. The store is shopping destination2rather than a typical lost and found.

While 99.5% of bags are usually reunited with their owners, the remaining items are sold or recycled, with some even ending up in a museum at the store.
