Ever wonder where all the unclaimed baggage go to? What happens to all those clothes, knickknacks and jewelery? I used to think they would eventually be destroyed, what with the security regulations at airports and all. Apparently not!
All these "lost treasures" end up in a huge warehouse in Scottsboro, Alabama. The place is as big as a city block and the items are put up for sale at very low discounted prices. People from all over US travel to this sleepy town in search of bargains. Stories of finding hidden treasures sewn into the seams of suitcases are not so uncommon. They seem to have found a lot of unusual objects from a diamond mounted on a platinum ring to 500$ tucked inside Barbie's head.
Sounds really interesting, doesn't it? Sweet home Alabama! ;)

They should donate these as Alms. I know that MLB/NFL/NBA does that every year by sending jerseys and apparels to countries in Africa :)
Nice thought, I guess they can give the clothes away.
But if you read what is written on their site, you will know why they do not want to do so. That store is virtually a treasure trove! Why would they want to give it away?
