组长&答疑:jackmgheartEach day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, leather jackets, surfboards, even half-used tubes of toothpaste. That's right, used toothpaste.
The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs -- even a live rattlesnake -- inside bags.
The store has a little museum where some of the most unusual acquisitions have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Less than one-half of 1% of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store. Still, that's a lot of toothpaste and wedding dresses that never made it home.店员们每天都会拿出7000件新玩意儿,有经验的买家便兴高采烈地来这儿淘宝。都能淘到些啥呢?从名贵的珠宝到曲棍球球棍,到皮夹克,冲浪板,甚至用了一半的牙膏,是的,用过的牙膏。
无人认领行李中心曾在旅客的包里找到过枪,违禁毒品,甚至活的响尾蛇。
这家小店还有个琐碎的博物馆,里面保存着他们找到过最不寻常的东西,包括苏格兰高地风笛,埃及法老墓里被埋葬的面具,和一套中世纪盔甲。
尽管航空公司负责运送的行李中只有不到0.5%的东西会再也找不到它们的主人,流落至这家小店,但仍有相当数量的牙膏和婚纱再也回不了主人的家了。
