A suitcase of bras, an urn and a baby? Bizarre lost property finds!
Breast implants, a micro pig and Harry Potter’s original wand, are
some of the bizarre items left in budget hotel chain ‘Travelodge’ during 2012. Also
there was a winning EuroMillions lottery ticket, a diamond-encrusted iPhone and
a bucket of live crabs. Keys to a Bugatti, a script from a well-known British
soap program, a box of 200 Queen Elizabeth masks, a trunk of chocolate
bars and a pantomime horse. These are some of the strange things that customers have left behind in the
527 hotels across the UK. Other weird items include
an 8ft pop-up spray tanning booth which was left behind by a group of girls
nursing their hangovers needless to say, in Essex. 20,000 books were also left
behind in some of the firms’ 38,000 hotel rooms over the past 12 months. Opps,
7,000 of which were of which were copies of Fifty Shades of Grey. Stranger was
the suitcase full of pink bras, a collection of watches worth a total of
£50,000 and even an 18 month old baby. The inventory details an
extraordinary array of items, such as a suitcase packed with designer dog
outfits and matching collars in Birmingham, a box of magicians’ tricks in a
room in Blackpool and staff in Peterborough reported finding an urn containing
the ashes of the guest’s dead wife, which was quickly returned. Another find in
Liverpool included a case full of false eye lashes, spray tan and hair
extensions, and in Cheshire, staff was shocked when they discovered a dwarf
Roborovski hamster in a cage. All items that are not claimed by their owners
are donated to Cancer Research UK charity shops. Hopefully not the baby or the
hamster? Have you ever left anything strange behind in a hotel room? I want the
suitcase packed with designer dog outfits and matching collars.

I don't think I've ever left anything interesting in a motel room. I do a pretty thorough search!
ReplyDeleteMolly you amaze me...you find the most interesting trivia about the most unusual subjects and make it really fun to read...Thank you! I'm pretty boring...the only thing I remember leaving behind was a t-shirt *yawn* ... Gizmo's nose has been submitted and I can't wait to see the painting Sheila will do cause I've loved every one of them so far Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteMIZ MOLLY AND COMPANY! I missed you so much yesterday; I had to rush off to school to teach and never had a chance to recover, until now!
ReplyDeleteNOW THIS NOSE KNOWS where to find the weirdest, the wildest and craziest stuff around! YOUR NOSE has been immortalized in this stunning portrait my dear, and must be framed in GOLD. You are detective extraordinaire and belong to the ranks of DCI Jane Tennsison!!!!
Nossa! Quantas coisas bizarras as pessoas largam por aí! Mas bem que eu poderia achar um bilhete de loteria premiado do Euromilhões não é?! kkkkkk
ReplyDeleteBeijos Molly e divertida e ensolarada sexta-feira pra você!!!!
Mommy said she's never left anything behind in a hotel room, but sometimes she would like to! Just kidding Daddy.....
ReplyDeleteWe love the nose portrait Molly. It's so beautiful just like you.
Hugs,
Lily Belle & Muffin
I left my boring old straw boater hat in a hotel in Sri Lanka and they posted it all the way to the UK for me. That was amazing - probably cost them more than the hat cost me! I like your nose portrait Molly - I was wondering how you keep your hair so glossy - is it all the brushing your peeps do for your lovely locks?
ReplyDeleteBetty
We heard you mention micro pig and we came running! Your nose is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteOink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Hmmmmm.....Seriously, would you return fur your furgotton breast implants???
ReplyDelete:)
Hap-Pee Weekend!!!
That is interesting!
ReplyDeleteMan, how forgetful are peeps anyway, this just proves they don't know what they are doing most of the time. Bites says that nose was made for him to do some lickin on, Heeheehee.

My assistant is famous for losing things. Fortunately, she has never left me or my human sissy behind! Have a wonderful day! Say hi to Pip for me!
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
HAHA, peeps leave all sorts of junk at my Mom's Olive Garden too! If it is not picked up, it usually goes to a second hand store. No dog stuff yet though, darn!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
That looks like quite the interesting haul ya got there!
ReplyDeleteCan we have the bucket of live crabs please... luvs Freya Rose Blossom x
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful nose, Molly ;o)I'm on the mose to visit this hotels... I want the crabs, or no, the wand...or better the ticket? Or maybe you can tell me the lucky numbers if I visit you in your tent?
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a hotel. So I guess I haven't. But MOM has left clothes. Not very interesting, unless she left the hotel naked.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
Wow that sure is some stuff been left. Love the noses, Shelia is so talented. Have a wonderful Furiday xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie

ReplyDeleteOh no, I never leave anything behind at doggy day care. Just take my food and leash with me.
ReplyDeleteNora
Your nose portrait is cute. I was told by @Nerissathecat to send you a url to one of my blog posts on It's A Wonderpurr Life. Thank you! I would love to be part of your Sunday feature. The post I'd like to feature is about the upcoming #Spypawty birthday bash with a Catsablanca theme. I mentioned last year's birthday pawty up front with pictures. If this doesn't work for you, let me know. Thanks so much! Herman and his mom, Kim

Molly, did you lose your designer dog outfits? Looks like they found'em for you! (A lost BABY?!?! And we hadz to laff at 50 shades of grey. Now if it were 50 shades of calico it might be more interesting...!)
ReplyDeleteFunny what some people leave behind. Breast implants? Really?
ReplyDeleteWE would have recognized that Super Snooter ANYWHERE. It is that certain Sparkle and shine that you have that gave it away.
ReplyDeleteOMD I guess the job of Motel Maid is not a Boring one.
Hehehehe Once my dad left 8 6 packs of beer in a motel room.. He had WON them and could not take them on the plane back home. THAT must have been a FUN trip they took. Thank Dawgness it was WAY before MY time.
Ha, the mind boggles! Wonder if they came back for the missing Euromillions ticket?
ReplyDeleteDip Bridge and Elliot x
SHE travels light and cheap, so SHE doesn't leave anything worth anything behind.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella &Roxy
BOL now that is interesting!
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Just makes you wonder why humans travel with the things they lose!
ReplyDeleteKeep Calm & Bark On!
Murphy & Stanley
We won't mind the hamster! We'll have so much fun with him. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your nose portrait!
ReplyDeleteOkays I had to go ask my mum if hers lefted her boobs in a hotel but her said they was still intact...no Molly, I is serious...her really f=does has fake ones.
ReplyDeletePuddles
Fascinating stuff! And boy! What a nose!
ReplyDeleteGlogirly once left a brand new pair of boots in a hotel room. : (
ReplyDeleteShe didn't realize it for way too long and then it was too late.
xo, Katie
Love your nose portrait.
ReplyDeleteHow do you leave your diamond phone behind? Our Lady isn't aware of losing anything in a hotel, but maybe she has . . . .
Aw, love the nose! Also checked out Sheila's page. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe find of ashes is very weird!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute nose!
How could someone leave a baby or hampster behind? That is just crazzzzeeee!!

ReplyDeleteHey Molly! Just heard from Herman's mom. She's not home right now and was usin' her phone 'stead of the computer. This was the post Herman had chosen. Is it too late to use this one? Hope not. purrs
Great nose portrait, Molly! It's nice that she got one of your eyes in there too. :-) I don't think we've ever left anything behind in a motel room and hope we never do. We'd love to know the stories behind some of those items.
ReplyDeleteSusan and Wrigs
Very beautiful nose Molly!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe the things people leave behind.
ReplyDeleteLove your nose print such a classic 'Molly' pose:-)
The nose knows... and that nose knows that the nose is best!
