If anyone in your life needs secondhand used underwear from unclaimed baggage, you can buy the "10 pc mystery underwear bag" or "women's lingerie mystery bag" online: https://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/collections/mystery-bags

It's advertised in a creepy way and it's sold out. People will never stop being sketchy lol

Luggage is fairly expensive and easy to reuse - sizing isn’t personal, and most designs are fairly bland. I’m surprised that the bags themselves aren’t a substantial source of income.

Probably comes down to how difficult it is to gain access, and whether that's destructive.

You can put whatever locks you want on your bags, but the TSA can and will cut anything they can't easily open.

Speaking of unclaimed property, do any of you Texans know of a way to use this absolutely trash website to look for something more specific than your First/Last?

https://www.claimittexas.gov/

I have a fairly common first name and there are literally 50 pages of results and "Your search returned 1000 unclaimed properties."

One of my financial apps (mint/ck not sure) told me I had unclaimed money and I have no way to find my name on this without cdlicking through 50 pages.

You can't even sort the rows.

It's absolutely missing dildos and erotic toys mystery bag, or the people opening suitcases take these for themselves together with more precious stuff?

Maybe someone buys them for a few bucks and dropships them for $25 as a vtuber?

Think I have a new side gig

A point is high value items, investment grade diamonds, expensive watches could reunite with their owner trivially because their sales are tracked. The point being insurance and compensation has been paid. So the closing ethical concern is perhaps overstated. It's the more personal effects, a treasured family memento, letters which beg questions.

If they didn't exist, the headline would be "The company that dumps your lost airplane luggage into a landfill."

It’s explained in TFA. They don’t sell those.
