Check out their website; http://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/ In the UK they get auctioned he http://www.dnfa.com/bcva/ http://www.greasbys.co.uk/ http://www.wellers-auctions.co.uk/ They take the obvious personal belongings out (though I do wonder if these personal belongings identify the owner, whether they try to contact them) and just auction a bag of items (I think, unseen). 5-10 pounds a bag is normal. I think that the 'profits' are given to charity. here's an actual list: http://www.greasbys.co.uk/Jan8.htm I suspect the Mont Blanc pen will beat the average price for a bag. This is a good way to get a cheap bag, but (unless you are very lucky) you're not going to be able to lock it. tim |

relation to Mary's disappointingly immaculate rumpy pumpy, Dusty Furtile Morrocan put forth: We arrive in Malpensa, and we wait for the bags. My wife's arrives, and we wait. Forward 45 minutes, and nothing. My backpack has disappeared into the ether. I am left filling out forms are trying to describe my backpack in Italian "é blù, grande, vecchio, sporco...". The backpack arrived this evening, 4 days after I last saw it, and it's wet through and really smelly. I have yet to test my phone, camera etc. I want to dry them out before switching them on.

I'm glad your stuff is back. As a electronics expert, I recommend you let your electronics dry as long as you can afford to let them dry. Remove batteries and accessories and open up ports to let them "breathe". Don't use a hair dryer. It might melt stuff. But a generic fan can help. Blowing room temperature air will increase evaporation. As for the smelly clothes? You're on your own with that one. Since you live in Italy, you should be able to re-sell unwanted items without the cost of cleaning them first. - TR ObExplanation: why do I always say nasty things about Italians? It's how I was raised. I grew up in a mixed ethnic neighborhood in working class New Jersey. Since birth I have been taught the following: - Italians are hairy and smelly and talk too much. - Irish drink and fight too much. - Puerto Ricans steal things and stab people. - Greeks are sexually perverted and hate outsiders. - Polish people are dumb with a capital B. - Jews have a lot of money and are stingy. - WASP Americans don't belong in the neighborhood. Fear them. Of course, I grew up, traveled and learned some things. These generalizations are just that - generalizations. Some seem pretty accurate, others are only perceptions. It's a big world out there. Oh, and our family? Dumb Pollacks. |

You checked a bag with cameras and other electronics... in Italy? |
