Most airports are only required to hold lost luggage for up to 90 days, after which items are lost for good. The Unclaimed Baggage company website is essentially an online thrift shop, with a heavy dose of schadenfreude.

The Unclaimed Baggage Center thift store is now one of Scottsboro's top attractions. However, the Unclaimed Baggage company aren't the only people profiting from travellers' misfortune.
