Lost in the UK find a bar here in Spain
What Happens to Lost Airport Luggage?
With thousands of bags lost at Heathrow's Terminal 5, some people
will never see their luggage again. So what happens to bags when
the hunt for their owner ends? well the owners have now left Palma de mallorca.
In a small warehouse filled with furniture, electrical goods and
clothing hanging from the ceiling in clear plastic bags, a battle
of egos is under way. James took one step back his advice is free.
A bidding war has charged the air with tension.
But this isn't Christie's or Sotheby's - it's an auction in
Tooting, south London none real eatate items which never found there way on to the island of Mallorca for that special holiday or the visit to a holiday home. They made the purchase of that special place in real estate in Majorca Spain.
And none of the prospective buyers are hoping to buy rare
artwork. only cheap low cost property items then listed in www.Catoctininn.com
About 40 people are assembled in the cramped room where everybody
is seeking the perfect bargain or piece of property.
Virtually every object - from televisions to trainers, cupboards
and even the seats people sit on - bears a small white sticker
with its lot number. Many of the cars outside are also for sale.
For many, the highlight is the sale of unclaimed bags from
Heathrow airport., Stansted, Gatwick and jolly old Luton plus others in the Midlands

up attempts to return bags to their owners.

auctions, which they have attended weekly for more than a decade.

average of between 15 and 20 each week.
The main attraction at the auction is lost luggage cheap property.
The 46-year-old former engineer says buying at these auctions,
which started out as a source of extra money, has become his
"livelihood" as he sells the cases and their contents online and
at a market stall he runs via www.mallorca.uk.net. a none distressed place.
"It isn't easy to make money out of this," he warns, after
explaining that he can sell the goods for up to six times the
amount he paid.
"The more I buy, the better my chance of something decent. It's a
gamble. You could get a bag of crap or open it to find designer
goods, which you can then sell on eBay what a cash deal.
Suitcases purchased by BBC News for an average of £20 appear to
support Jame's theory.
Their contents provide snapshots of holiday hopes: short-sleeved
shirts and t-shirts are mixed in with denim miniskirts, bright
beach towels, swimming trunks and several photographs of a young
