Airline identification tags can come loose and amazingly, some people never pick up their luggage at airport baggage-claim carousels. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. If they have no luck, they don't keep them, since they're not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them - sight unseen.
It's called the "Unclaimed Baggage Center" and it's so popular. This building that's set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama.上百万美国人坐飞机远行归来,但是行李却没有相伴而到。
航空识别标签有可能会变松,并且令人惊奇的是,有些人从不去行李认领的传送带上拿取行李。 乘客们还把各种东西留在飞机上。
航空公司会收集这些遗失物,在90日之内会试着找到物主。如果这些物主不走运,行李就不会被留着了,毕竟航空公司并没有仓储业务。依照法律,航空公司也不得出售箱包,因为他们可能会受此诱惑故意错放行李。
因此,当保险公司已经对这些丢失的箱包和里面的东西做出赔偿后,一家来自阿拉巴马州的小镇斯科茨伯勒的独特商店就对这些遗失物照单全收。
这家名为“无人认领行李中心”的店十分受欢迎。商店建筑犹如百货商店,并成为阿拉巴马州的第一旅游景点。
