I Went To A Lost Luggage Store

HELLO FRIENDS!! hope you guys enjoy our investigation into the Unclaimed Baggage store! what did you guys think of our Lost Looks (tm)? what's one treasure we should have picked up? make sure you check out our collab on HopeScope's channel after this one!! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5aHcu19wio - xoxo, saf

its such a strange ethical position for a place to resell other people's missing (stolen?) luggage but destroy counterfeit branded goods to prevent people selling them.

Let's normalize specifying that the AIRLINE LOST your luggage. You didn't lose your luggage. Don't let large companies weasel out of responsibility and then profit from their own incompetence

Something about the behavior of this store feels unnatural, like they are hiding something

No hate to you Saf, but a good chunk of these items are not "lost" they are stolen. Airlines frequently intentionally "lose" luggage they want to sell and often do NOT wait the 90 day period. This store is soooo unethical and people should not spend their money there. They cannot do this anymore if the public refuses to endorse it. No consumers = no profit

I think Saf was right about the bags they gave her to unbag being staged. There's no way someone would put Gucci sunglasses at the front of a soft shell checked bag....

These prices were all outrageous for what is basically selling “questionably acquired” goods.

Saf: "what is this item??" Chasity immediately without inspection "it's a piggy bank!....oh wait what is it is it a piggy bank?" Saf you're right these bags were sooooo staged 🤣

"lost" is used very freely here. people DO NOT deliberately "loose" their luggage to this extent. Everyone knows how it is dealing with airlines with lost (by the airline) luggage. This shop feel super shady.

I went to Unclaimed Baggage in late May. I was chosen to open one of the bags, and I got the same items that Safiya opened first. Down to the two fake Gucci and Versace shirts and funky slides. AND the yacht mop bag with chargers. These bags are completely staged

This store is the epitome of nasty. First off, the prices are ridiculous. $60+ for used jeans that were basically stolen from someone's luggage??? Only donating the raggedy stuff that the charities will have to pay to dispose of?? They have stuff on display that they KNOW who the owners are but they are refusing to return them?? (Hoggle suit, what they thought was legit Basquait art, Donny Osmond clothes) The owner lady trying to make excuses, coming up with stories like "Oh this wedding dress/ ring probably was owned by someone who was cheating. Oh, this person probably didn't really need this laptop for school or work or anything, etc." It's disgusting. ALL of that stuff should be donated. Airlines should not be allowed to profit off of "losing" items in any way. They claim this reduces waste, but donating everything would produce even less waste. This is all just to profit off of misfortune. Disgusting.

A woman from Toronto who recently returned home with Air Canada didn't have her luggage for 4 months... they said it was lost, but she had an Air Tag in it and was tracking it... turns out Air Canada had "donated" her lost luggage!

very happy to see everyone calling the ethics on this store without dragging queen safiya!!

As someone who’s luggage was just lost by United just this past week, with almost no communication from United about where my bags were, I have to wonder how much of this stuff is actually just stolen. This is completely unethical.

The "experiment" of intentionally leaving a bag on a flight and having it show up in the store "weeks later" kinda proves the airlines don't actually wait 90 days ...

The fact that Hoggle is there and not home back with the other Jim Henson puppets honestly breaks my heart

Video felt very shady. What really threw me over the edge was the Hoggle puppet from Labyrinth. That movie is my all time favorite childhood movie, and to see it in this random luggage store infuriates me. There is no way that the person that's responsible for keeping him safe, just lost it. The airline specifically took it to be put as a display piece for this store

That place has awfully BOLD pricing considering they’re all secondhand items. Like most of that stuff was overpriced in my opinion.

The only reason I can think that they wouldnt give you real suitcases and wouldnt let you in the back is that the suitcases likely often come with obvious information that would have led to someone being reunited with their lost things. What a shady store.

Lost literally everything I had because of a storage unit and covid, everything. After being left homeless, this was a serious hit. I'm still trying to recoup losses. Point being please remember some things weren't abandoned & certainly not forgotten..... Some of us had no choice or lacked the funds to keep our own belongings. You never know the sentiment behind some of these things, if there is any.
