Where Unclaimed Baggage Ends Up

In this March 17, 2011 photo, Lisa Hodge of Kansas City, Mm., peruses the jewelry case at Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Ala. Along a country road next to a muffler shop and a cemetery is a 40,000-square-foot store filled with all the items that never made it home from vacation. Shoes, samurai swords, iPods, even lingerie, all available for 20 to 80 percent off. (Michael Mercier / F170349 Ap)
