Unclaimed Baggage Site
 

ABC news had a story today on the Alabama-based Unclaimed Baggage Company. This company has a contract with most all the airlines to buy their unclaimed baggage. The address:

This is an interesting site and one can even order from them.

Amazing site. The unclaimed cargo (new) caught my eye as did the wedding dress--wonder if was lost on the way to or from the wedding? This must only be the tip of the pile of stuff.

Their category list includes a category called "kids".

People actually leave kids on airlines and the airlines sell them to these folks in Alabama.

Aren't there laws against this sort of stuff?

Thanks Boomber, that was the best laugh I had all day.

I mean like you were kidding...... weren't you?

So if not do you have any idea how much you can get for a used kid? Do you think maybe we could get a better price in Manhattan than in Alabama?

You mean I can leave the kids on the plane and that's it -- they're off to Alabama?

Raeban honey you listening???? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Boomer: Not in Alabama. There, anything goes. Most crazy lawsuits nationwide get their first exposure in AL.

OMNI: Maybe I can retrieve my lost Brooks & DUnn purple cowboy shirt for the Texas F-T celebration.

Strange how that disappeared!

A three paws post JAWS!

How does one get to Alabama? Are there flights that go there? Is a passport required? I gotta go there an reclaim all my stuff.

OMNI to Catman: Forget the B & D purple shirt. You can find another Hawaiian Shirt there.

This is the funniest site I have ever visited.

Don't be ridiculous JAWS_II, you don't fly to Alabama. You fly to NAWLINS and then do a combination of walkin, crawlin and swamp-boatin. They accept two or three fifths of anything in lieu of passports. Unless, of course, you are headin for LA (Lower Alabama) which if the Riveria of Alabama, then you have to wear shirts and shoes when you are more than 300 feet from salt water.

Appropo of the posts about kids, A landing announcement from the crew: "As you exit the plane, please make you to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

This is a funny site!!

I just hope I never lose any of my luggage. I don't ahve anything of value except my Hawaiian shirt and cat pictures to offer potential customers!

OMNI to JAWS: Maybe I should ask you to help me pick out a Party animal shirt that would do Texas and Hawaii and Alabama proud.
