The Mystery of 2 Million Lost Suitcases: Where Do They Disappear?

Every year, U.S. airlines lose around 2 million suitcases that are not reclaimed by their owners. These lost bags end up at Unclaimed Baggage, a massive retail outlet in Scottsboro, Alabama. The store receives 7,000 new items daily, including clothes, shoes, books, electronics, and even unusual items like skis, snowboards, and musical instruments. While airlines make efforts to reunite passengers with their bags, only a fraction of lost items are recovered. Unclaimed Baggage has become a popular tourist attraction, with a museum showcasing odd finds such as ancient relics and a suit of armor.
