Someones Loss Is Your Treasure

It seems hard to believe that good stiff like that could get lost and never be claimed, but it does happen. And a lot of it winds up in Scottsboro, Alabama at the Unclaimed Baggage Center. They handle over a million lost items each year. You’ll get some good deals on used, but valuable, items. This is not, however, the place to call if you are trying to locate a lost item. By the time it reaches them there is no way the original owner could be identified.
