Travelers left millions of items behind in 2025, including things as eccentric as a samurai sword, as expensive as diamond earrings and as historic as a World War II flight jacket, according to the new Unclaimed Baggage report.
Unclaimed Baggage, which calls itself the nation’s only retailer of lost luggage, released its annual Found Report on Thursday, listing its most interesting finds from luggage that airports couldn’t get back to passengers.
“Each year, I am amazed at the treasures discovered in luggage and what it reveals about our society,” Bryan Owens, the company’s CEO, said in a statement. “After more than 55 years of reclaiming the lost and rejected for good, we often believe we’ve seen it all. But then we uncover something like a matching set of Samurai swords, a fully assembled robot, a Dolce & Gabbana jeweled jacket or gold-plated golf clubs, and we are reminded of why the annual ‘Found Report’ exists.”
