HERE ARE 10 OF THE ODDEST ITEMS EVER LEFT UNCLAIMED AT THE AIRPORT............


1) A RATTLESNAKE- YES, A LIVE RATTLER. IT WAS LEFT ROAMING AROUND THE REST OF THE UNCLAIMED LUGGAGE (!!!!)

2) A NAVAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM- THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WORTH $250,000.00 WAS LOST AND NEVER CLAIMED. THE CENTER DECIDED TO BE GOOD SPORTS AND RETURNED IT TO THE NAVY.

3) BOUNTIFUL BARBIE- A WOMAN PURCHASED A BARBIE DOLL AT THE CENTER FOR HER DAUGHTER. BUT WHEN THE GIRL PROMPTLY YANKED THE DOLL'S HEAD OFF, $500.00 IN ROLLED UP BILLS TUMBLED OUT OF HER BODY.

6) A 40.95 CARAT NATURAL EMERALD.

7) A FULL SUIT OF ARMOR- UNLIKE THE TRUE EGYPTIAN ARTIFACTS, THIS SUIT OF ARMOR WAS MERELY A REPLICA OF A 19TH CENTURY SUIT OF ARMOR. BUT THE GUY WHO LOST IT MUST HAVE SPENT THE REST OF HIS LIFE WONDERING WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SUIT OF ARMOR HE LOST.

8) "HOGGLE FROM "LABYRINTH"- "HOGGLE" WAS DAVID BOWIE'S DWARF-GOBLIN MINION IN THE 1986 MOVIE "LABYRINTH".
