"Alabama's Unclaimed Baggage Store: Where Lost Luggage Finds New Owners"
Unclaimed Baggage, located in Scottsboro, Alabama, is a massive store that sells lost luggage from airlines that has not been reclaimed by its owners. Covering an entire city block in a 50,000-square-foot building, the store receives around 7,000 new items daily, ranging from clothes and books to unexpected treasures like musical instruments and wedding dresses. Electronics are wiped clean of personal data before being sold. While airlines make efforts to reunite lost luggage with owners, a small percentage remains unclaimed. Unclaimed Baggage purchases these bags through exclusive contracts. The store also houses a mini museum displaying unusual relics, attracting over a million visitors annually.
