A woman bought a lost suitcase at Heathrow Airport for £80 and discovered high-value items inside, including Ugg boots and Pokemon cards.
A woman who bought a lost suitcase for £80 has revealed everything she got inside it, including an iPad, Ugg boots and a Kindle. Becky Chorlton, from Lymm in Cheshire, purchased the luggage which had been abandoned at London Heathrow Airport. The airport holds onto lost property for three months from the date it was found or handed in and can charge you up to £25 to retrieve misplaced items.
However, cases left unclaimed are sometimes given to auction houses which then sell off the bags and contents to the highest bidder. Becky shared an Instagram video of herself opening the case after buying it for £80 - and she managed to find bag herself some gems. She said: 'This is my third time ordering one of these and let me tell you, it is definitely a risk, but honestly it is so much fun.' Upon opening the large pink shiny hard-shelled case, the content creator was first drawn to the Ugg boots on the top of the piles of clothes. These 'new' sparkly premium boots were embroidered with black sequins and retail for a whopping £160. Becky Chorlton, from Lymm in Cheshire, purchased the luggage which had been abandoned at London Heathrow Airport If they are legitimate product, Becky has already made back double what she paid for the case with the first item. Her luck then extended even further, as she dug around and found a pair of nude- coloured Juicy Couture slides which retail for £36. Bizarrely, Becky then came across some Pokémon cards, which can be quite valuable depending on which ones she has. She received Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Elite Trainer Box which are currently fetching between £36 to £65 online. 'This is so random, I have no idea why you'd need to take them on holiday,' she said. Becky then found two used hair straighteners, one of which was unbranded and the other was the TRESemme Keratin Smooth straightener - which retails for £40 new
