A woman who acquired a misplaced suitcase for £80 has disclosed everything she found inside, which included an iPad, Ugg boots, and a Kindle.
Becky Chorlton, from Lymm in Cheshire, bought the luggage that had been left at London Heathrow.
The airport retains lost belongings for three months from the date it was discovered or submitted and may charge up to £25 to recover lost items.
Nonetheless, unclaimed bags are sometimes given to auction houses that sell the bags and their contents to the highest bidders.
Becky posted an Instagram video showing herself unveiling the case after purchasing it for £80 – and she discovered several treasures.
She remarked: ‘This is my third time ordering one of these and let me assure you, it is undoubtedly a gamble, but truly it is so enjoyable.’
When opening the large pink glossy hard-shelled suitcase, the content creator was immediately attracted to the Ugg boots resting atop the piles of garments.
These ‘new’ sparkling luxury boots featured black sequins and are priced at an impressive £160.

If they are authentic products, Becky has already recouped double her investment from the first item.
Her fortune then increased further as she rummaged around and uncovered a pair of nude-colored Juicy Couture slides, which cost £36.
Strangely, Becky then stumbled upon some Pokémon cards, which can vary in value depending on the specific cards she possesses.
She found a Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Elite Trainer Box, currently valued between £36 to £65 online.
‘This is so peculiar, I have no idea why someone would take them on holiday,’ she commented.
Becky then discovered two used hair straighteners, one unbranded and the other a TRESemme Keratin Smooth straightener, priced at £40 new.
Much to her shock, Becky found a white iPad in the suitcase and she plugged it in – however doesn’t know what generation the product is
To her astonishment, Becky discovered a white iPad within the suitcase. While the influencer could not identify its generation, Apple stopped including the middle button in 2021.
Given that this iPad possesses a middle button, it suggests that it is at least four years old and might be valued at approximately £150 second-hand.
Becky successfully connected the iPad, and it powered on with the charging symbol, confirming that it does indeed function, although it may still be protected by a passcode.
The device was reset, yet it ‘glitches’ on the welcome screen and ‘speaks’ to her in French.
The TikToker also found a collection of brand new Shein garments that retained their tags and remained in plastic bags.
Speaking frankly, Becky expressed: ‘I’m still very doubtful about these lost luggage purchases because while this has been the best one I have gotten so far, none of it genuinely makes sense belonging to an actual person; it all feels very random.’
She then uncovered what appeared to be a men’s grooming bag containing deodorant and a toothbrush, followed by a makeup bag containing used items.
Evidently, the owners of this suitcase are quite health-conscious, as Becky located two fitness trackers that seemed to have completely lost their charge.

The content creator subsequently discovered a pair of brand new ‘adorably stylish’ baby Stan Smith Adidas sneakers priced at £25, complete with tags.
‘Next, I retrieved this Kindle which looked somewhat worn, I’m being honest,’ Becky remarked.
Brand new Kindles retail for approximately £95, whereas used ones sell for around £25 to £30 on platforms such as eBay.
Becky then unearthed a multi-colored leopard print fur coat that she confessed was her ‘favorite item’ from the entire suitcase.
She proceeded to extract a pair of wireless earphones, a toy tractor, and a handful of goggles, hairbrushes, children’s literature, neck pillows, and another cosmetic bag.
In her caption, Becky mentioned: ‘According to the website, this case is apparently unclaimed, and the airport has attempted for months to reconnect it with its original owner. Unfortunately, the only alternatives are incineration / disposal in a landfill, or personal items being taken out and the remainder sold.’
The video garnered thousands of views, prompting many individuals to share their opinions regarding its worth.
One commenter noted: ‘Clearly, this is someone returning from a vacation after indulging in shopping abroad.’
Another remarked: ‘Imagine watching this as you discover all of someone’s possessions.’
A third added: ‘It appears they packed numerous gifts for their family they were visiting; it saddens me that they lost it!’
A fourth queried: ‘Why is everything brand new? Seems suspicious.’
