When you’re buying lost luggage, there’s a chance somebody tried really hard to get that back. That’s why I’ll never buy any of that stuff. I’d feel too strange.
Key word TRIED. They weren't able to locate it, so it's either going to be destroyed or sold. I would rather someone end up with my items than know they were incinerated or thrown in a dump.
@@lostineggsaislenah, it’s MY STUFF if I see it in a TikTok I’m reporting it to the police and you’re giving me my stuff back or I’ll take legal action because it’s illegal
Some people are legitimately well off enough where if it goes missing they can just replace what they lost. I’d love to live a life like that lol.
@@lostineggsaisle While that one way to look at it. I still feel bad for the ppl who weren’t Abel to get their own luggage had possibly been bought by someone. Maybe the airport has ppl who suck at the lost and found job. That would be such a betrayal for the airport to not help you find your stuff and instead sell it to someone else
You and me both
her holding up that persons underwear and bra actually made my eye twitch
without gloves either like what 😭😭
Same
@@mishaa7263 fun way to get pinkeye
Especially bc that underwear was probably dirty and that bra was DEFINITELY dirty
You should never do that because
1. You don’t know who the person is
Even if you did that’s Creepy
The whole lost luggauge market is DISGUSTING to me. Instead of give stuff back to people, airports are wanting to sell them off to idiotic weirdos willing to buy it. Things like these make me hate people. Only thing to do with buying lost lugguage I've ever liked is finding people's lost lugguage and giving it back
They do everything they can & they can't just stockpile stuff in a lost and found until someone locates it over & over after years. If people don't come back to get their sh*t it ain't their fault for selling it off. The United States postal service does this to with "lost packages", unclaimed or returned & the returner doesn't want it either.
@@goober112 I was hoping that the airport waits a certain amount until they sell the luggage. I do wonder if some of the luggage being sold is one that someone called the airport about and it didn’t come up until later maybe by that time ppl forgot who made that call. Maybe someone forgot to write that down somewhere. What if it’s a situation where they are in contact with the person but while transporting the luggage it keeps getting lost. In that situation the person is trying to get it back but isn’t able to bc the airport(s) keep messing up, then it’s labeled as someone not coming back for it.
@@maem7462they do.
I don't really think it's that hard to track down the owner? I mean there are papertags issued by the airline wrapped/pasted on the checked luggages? I'm sure you can somehow track down the original owners if the airline tries hard enough. The responsibility lies on the airlines from the start, even after the owners reported the lost luggages, because it's the airlines that lose the luggages. So they should definitely do everything to give the luggages back to the rightful owners (without expecting any compensation). Like no one is travelling and misplacing their checked luggages.
It's the fact that there is a way to make money by selling lost luggages - more so especially now as this becomes a trend on tiktok, more people are gonna buy it for a few minutes of short videos (like how when thrift stores were gentrified because it became a trend to do thrift hauls online) - which encourages the airlines to not try hard enough to reach out the owners. I'm sure with this trend becoming a thing, the airline won't even wait a few months to sell the "lost" luggages (I would even go so far as to say they will purposely lose the luggages).
wasnt this a thing on youtube ages ago?
This feels like a gateway for airports to start "losing" luggage and not "finding" it to sell it off. Wtf.
Never flew before and soon will be in September, so scared my luggage will be the victim.
Tempted to get a carry on and pack little as possible so I don't loose it (despite it being a 10 day university field course)
Lol this is already a thing for many years now.. there’s even a website that airport sells to, it’s disgusting what their doing and the fact that it’s not yet made illegal kinda scares me to travel by plane.. would rather sit and wait on a train lol
@@UmitsBoorecommend from someone who flys alot put an air tag in the luggage because you can always see where it is any tracking works then a tsa lock is always good and put things like medical inhaler and things important to you and that in your carry on as they cant loose that since it is on you make sure you bring a empty water bottle since its all expensive in airports you can fill up at water stations food i belive can be brought in just have in your carry on electronics make sure when going through tsa they are able to easily be pulled out while moving through make sure your devices are close to fully charged and for first make sure to be very focused on the safety briefing as a precaution remember be there 2 or 3 hours early getting into the airport takes a good chunk of time not counting if you need to go across the airport always check if your gate has been changed it is common if you see a commisary store in there is belive its what its called avoid it not worth spending the money and you get it at the end of the trip make sure you get durable luggage where it cant get crushed and break your belongings random search are normal it happens for cities like paris where there are higher pick pockets get your bag infront of you especially on the subway and try and avoid groups of kids as thats where it happens just be aware of your surroundings that about for airport stuff that comes off the top of my head and no dairy right before makes your stomach sick
@@UmitsBoo People can be over the top on the internet, acting like this happens to everybody. You will be fine.
If you can fit everything you need in just a carry-on + personal item then I would recommend that anyway, as it saves so much time in the airports and ensures that you have your stuff on time (depends on the airport but I've had times where I had to wait in line for an hour to check-in my luggage, and times where I had to wait 2 hours at the luggage belt to get my stuff. I've also had a suitcase get lost before that was delivered to me 4 days after I landed...). If you can't fit everything and need to get a checked-in bag, I recommend putting all the essentials to last you at least a few days in your carry-on. But don't be worried about them permanently losing your stuff, it doesn't happen as often as people make it sound
I mean they definitely already do that first part, they tell people their luggage is "lost" but for a price they can "find" it, they either scam as much out of you as possible or you give up and never get your stuff back.... It's awful
JUST IMAGINE HOW THOSE PEOPLE FEEL WHEN THEY SEE THESE PEOPLE BOUGHT YOUR LUGGAGE- ID BE PISSEDDDDDDD
I would rather see that then know it went into a landfill. At least you would have a chance of getting some of it back if you see it online.
This is LOST luggage that hasn't been able to be returned to the owner for whatever reason.
That’s what I’m saying, everyone been screaming about re using stuff and not letting stuff go to landfills. But as soon as its “ well that’s mine “ you’d rather it go to a landfill? You could also escalate the problem and find your bag , you could also call all those places that re sell luggage
i'd cry and ik my dad would hunt down that person because its so disrespectful to BUY someones luggage with probably some very valuable stuff in it. those people are probably working hard to get their stuff back and would pay alot to get their stuff back when they shouldnt need to pay.
@@jayb7425 its not jus that though they should be tryna found the person whos iteams are
@@gamespc-zi6zo have you ever seen the “hauls of people who buy these things?” A lot of the time there’s actually no valuable stuff in them, YALL just want to make a huge deal out of something that’s actually doing something better with the situation, when most companies would just throw it all away, and most airlines, if you didn’t know , will actually compensate for what you lost, I had a bag lost, and I had my recording stuff, so 1 “nice thing” but reality is, it was only 178$ , BUT delta gave me a check for 850$ due to them losing ny bag. Seems like people are watching a rage bait vid while simultaneously not looking into the whole process
This is SO weird! How do you not feel trashy buying something like this? Consumerism is so dehumanizing 😢
Apparently "trashy" would be offensive even though trashy is very accurate
It’s going to the landfill if someone doesn’t buy the lost luggage.
@@jeIIycube it goes to a landfill after you die too. By purchasing things you are voting with your dollar. Should be very choosy with what you buy because it will create more.
@@haleyfowler193 It just further incentivizes the airlines to lose baggage to allow profits to be made from stolen items. It's just an infinite money hack that is legal like what?
once something "trashy" gets done by rich people, its suddenly "cool"
This is fucked. Imagine if you had sketchbooks in there? Photobooks? Journals? Family heirlooms?
I wouldn’t even want to imagine someone going through my sketchbook I would die omg I would cringe myself to death
I guess this all needs to be considered when were deciding what goes on the plane with us and what goes through in the luggage. Definitely something I will be considering in the future
No literally. Family videos? Baby photos? A kids luggage? You want random people buying kids nightgowns? Grandmas urn? Someone’s wedding dress? Business plans or notes? Work phone with confidential info? SO many things that can be in luggage is disgusting and immoral to sell.
No other industry gets away with such terrible customer service (double booking seats, losing luggage, etc.)
Yep. And now they charge the customer for the inconvenience. I remember when booking your seat and checking your luggage was included in the price. It was only the smaller budget airlines that charged extra. Now the major airlines do it too. It doesn’t surprise me that they charge for lost luggage now too. I remember about 12 years ago I was living in Korea and travelling back from visiting family in the UK over Christmas. My case was almost 2 kilos overweight yet miraculously I wasn’t charged. Then it got lost in Helsinki (where my connecting flight was). Two days later it was delivered to my flat in Seoul. I wasn’t charged anything. I dread to think how much it would cost if that happened now (especially with the case being way over the weight limit).
They aren't even subject to the ADA.
No, every industry in America is this bad 🫠. You should try our healthcare and insurance! 😂
The post. Postal services lose and sell an alarming number of packages. You can buy mail. Packages yes but that’s wrong
never really thought about this but it's so true...
not only are they looking for clout, they are selling these people's lost belongings for monetary gain, this is fucking disgusting. when my mother died my alcoholic stepfather lost all of my mother's belongings in an unpaid storage unit, someone has paid for and thrown away or sold all of my childhood memories. I no longer remember my mothers face because i have no pictures of her, I have no memories of my child hood because that unit is gone.
I have moved twice in the last 2 years and we didn't use a moving truck the first time and I lost so much stuff still that I'm upset about, the second time was with someone else and they did and we ended up with so much extra crap we didn't need haha but still lost a few things that are sentimental that I really wish I could get back (I'm lucky enough tho that I have photos of loved ones because without them I don't know what I'd do I'm so sorry for your loss of her along with all your stuff)
@@erika-paigehutch3930 thank you for your words of kindness, through therapy and some mindfulness i realized that i don't need those things to survive. I Feel your pain on losing your things that way on so many levels and no one should have to go through that (virtual hugs)
@@CheshireAlliKat89 oh my God you should thoroughly look up your mother's name and info, all you know, online 😢 or in archives of the area where you lived, try to reach out to people there that may have known your family etc. There must definitely be some photos of her somewhere. Maybe you can find out what school she went to and where she worked. Nowadays people have been finding their long lost family members (even from over a century ago) thanks to all the technology that's becoming more and more available. Maybe you could even post on forums online and ask people if anyone has photos of her and can actually tie it to her name. Search by other family members too and their connections. Much love dont give up❤
I am so sorry, this is absolutely disgusting and horrible
My family went through this when I was too young to remember much of that time. The owners of the storage unit were "generous" enough to give my mother one photo book and nothing else.
I feel like if there's enough people buying these lost luggages, airlines are going to have more of an insentive to send "lost" luggage there? Like they might go "oops we lost your suitcase" a lot more frequently or something. Maybe I'm hopping to conclusions like an eager toad, but airlines are so snakey when it comes to money I can't help but think they'd do this
That is a valid concern. It could potentially happen. Difficult to know for sure but sadly I wouldn’t be surprised
this is why i put my airtag in my luggage
i was thinking the same thing
There are countries that are thankfully pushing back against this, laws are coming out that the airlines will have to pay for the lost luggage and refund the price of it for the customer
“eager toad” i love that lol
The greyhound put my suitcase on the wrong bus as I was moving to a new state during the pandemic, and my ex at the time promised me he was keeping in contact with them to pick it back up. He lied and after holding it for a week the greyhound station told me that they sent my things off to their warehouse in Texas. I did a lot of work to see how possible it would be to get my suitcase back, I had a pair of jeans that I painted, vintage clothes that belonged to my great grandmother, many gifts and my favorite wigs in addition to a painting that a friend made for me a few years ago that I vowed to hang in my first apartment. I remember when I saw the first lost luggage vlog on RUclips a few weeks ago, and even though it wasn't my luggage I cried. I know it seems silly but sometimes people have everything they own at the time in their suitcases and to know that someone can just buy it to sift through for content is so heartbreaking and weird.
Im not surprised greyhound shut down in Canada. The FIRST time my luggage went missing I was given a number to call and as soon as the representative found out I had a pocketknife in my bag I was told security probably took my bag and there was nothing she could do and hung up. So I talked to security at my departing depot and they said that was stupid and there was no reason for them to remove an undercarriage bag for a knife. I never got that bag back. The second time my luggage went missing was a much worse experience and it almost ended in me smashing windows and causing a scene. I will never trust greyhound again.
This is like robbing someone because they left their car unlocked and then reselling their stuff online. Just because something is available doesn’t mean it’s just yours for the taking; even if you pay for it. If I had my mom’s diamond ring stolen from a sink in the bathroom and then they sold it to a pawn shop and then someone from the pawn shop bought it; that doesn’t make it any less sentimental to my mom and it doesn’t mean it wasn’t still stolen. I get more and more disappointed by the blatant disregard of human decency on tik tok. But as always love ya Drama Kween! Keep on yapping! ❤
No just no. They need the storage space it cant lay there forever they throw it out destroyil or sell it.
My only winter jacket (a leather jacket I found at a thrift store) was stolen out of my car a long with a shawl I had been crocheting for the upcoming winter and spent three months on it. I called the police and the automated message told me to file an online report and that was it. No recourse whatsoever and I was left without my only coat and the only other thing I was literally trying to make to keep myself warm because I could only afford the damn string and a hook. I couldn't just buy a new jacket because everything is so expensive these days and I was livid. If I ever catch them, they're going to regret taking what little I had. These people are evil.
Exactly!
My aunt is still trying to find her lost luggage after moving here 2 YEARS AGO. I can't imagine someone buying her things and finding our great grandpa's ashes just to be weirded out for the TikTok and then throwing it out.
Most airline just bomb lost luggages or salvaged donated stuff if they were unclaimed for long time. I'm really sorry about your aunt losing her luggage with your family member's ashes.
My mom lost all her luggage which contained her medication she needed for her health. She tried to keep them with her but she wasn’t allowed for whatever reason. They get to the place and all her bags were gone. She ended up getting really sick in a different state but she was alone, for a week. It was scary. She tried to get it back but they didn’t try to help because we lived in a different state & too poor to travel again at the time.
I'm so sorry your mother had to go through that. Smh whats wrong with ppl today? Why would you get another person's luggage? It could have important things, like documents, meds, etc. That's not funny or cool at all. 😒
This world is crazy💀
For real.
Couldn’t say it better myself
Always been
Mia maples 😭😭😭
But also.. has anyone ever gotten that lil card inside your luggage? 🥲 the “we went inside your bag!” card? 🥲🥲🥲 then noticed the most expensive item inside your bag was gone??? 🥲🥲🥲🥲
I have. A few times. And I always had this thought that they purposely stole it to sell it. Now I have pretty much no doubt! Look at that fkn store.
One of my first bfs I had.. I traveled out of the country and spent allllllll the money I had on a bday gift for him. It was like 90 bucks. Got one of those cards and that was the only thing taken out. What shady, shady mfs!!!!!
@@thedouglaspodcast thanks for making me fear more
Welp, new fear unlocked!!
Being afraid to fly not because you are a fan of Air Crash Investigation genre of documentaries, but because you are deathly scared of Losing Your Stuff And Being Unable To Reclaim It (and then some ticktock Samantha #2716 with Regular American Girl Face #3 buys your shit)
same. I'm going to germany this summer and now I'm scared :)
@@kaitlyng7850idk if it’s true bc I don’t work at an airport but I flew to Paris and then to Germany from the U.S. , and back again, and I felt more secure on international flights? Like, even when our flights got fucked up and cancelled and replanned on the way back, they never missed a beat and I never got my shit lost. International seemed much more pleasant, safe, and organized bc it HAS to be (I would assume) and also other countries sometimes do it better than the US
Have fun in Germany fr! If you’re in Berlin go to art museums and at least one minority holocaust memorial like for the disabled or Romani. Dont worry 🥰
Same here. I’m going to Mexico in October and I’ve never been on a plane before. Terrified of flying. Now I have to be terrified that my belongings could just be “lost” and see some tiktoker digging through my bag and showcasing all my clothes?? My comfort items?? I’d be devastated.
@@kaitlyng7850just have your personal clothes with you as a carry on🙏🏻 rather look dumb with a backpack full of extra clothes than lose your luggage!
be safe and have fun on your trip though!
I saw a creator do this, she gives an explanation of process involved to auction. she actually found owners n return items.
There is a process. They don't just dump the latest lost luggage into an auction. At least if it's posted online the owners have a chance of seeing it.
I think people think the airlines don't try and connect with the original owners at all and they just sell it to make a profit. Corporations are greedy, but they don't need the extra $100 they can make off of someone's lost luggage. They would probably rather send it to the owner. Losing someone's luggage and not returning it loses customers. Therefore it loses more money than they would make from selling it.
Yeah I think it’s weird that everyone’s acting like it’s luggage that’s been lost for a day or two, when In actuality it’s been sitting for months then is transferred to a warehouse where it can be auctioned off. Do we want things to go in landfills or not? Seems like no one’s ever satisfied
I’m glad that sometimes this helps ppl find their lost luggage. It does make me think if someone was able to randomly come across a TikTok video with their luggage and give it back then how did the airport fail at that same task. Was it the airport that didn’t get in contact as soon as they should’ve even if it was a mistake, did it take forever to find the luggage and the person no longer made any calls and accepted it was gone, did they only call one airport if they had connecting flights and was there one that never heard abt the luggage being missing, or did the person never show up. There are so many possibilities and I’m surprised that the airport was never able to get in contact. They likely would’ve figured out that if there is luggage that was left then it was likely lost by someone. Do they try to get in contact with the person if they can. Most the time there are tags with someone’s name on it and surely they could look that up in the system to get the person’s information.
Nice to know that a process exists, because I know of a person who has a tracker in her luggage, she can see it making the rounds in the airport, but it's still reported missing and she's been trying to get it back for several weeks. She has custom cosplay gowns in it so it's not like it's replacable and airport people just keep shrugging.
@@JadeReloaded holy shit this is my greatest nightmare. i really hope you get your stuff back!
I don’t travel by air anymore, thanks to my disability I’m in a wheelchair and I certainly don’t trust airlines with my expensive wheelchair, so I’ve not lost y luggage. I would be furious though if they were selling my things like that instead of trying to get out back to me. What a shame. I think it’s disgusting that these TikTok’s are buying these lost luggage and showing them off then chucking them like they weren’t important to somebody.
What are they supposed to do find someone who the bag belongs to, without selling it? If it has sat around for so long & no one has claimed it, it's finders keepers. At my old job, we'd do that one time someone left a michael kohrs purse & it was there for like 2 months before my manager was like "hey get this tf outta here, someone takes this home." No one came back for it, it had no ID to contact, & it was sitting there taking up space.
@@goober112 usually there is a tag on it. At least there is supposed to be. The owner normally puts an identifier on it. It’s not there owners fault if the airline screws up and loses it.
Oh you're talking the lil paper tag that is literally in tears & shit bc the guy who put the crap under the placings are literally whipping them bags & sh*t in lmao
People who handles your checking bags are not nice. Do not put anything fragile in there, they'll try to make games outta throwing the bags & crap around.
@@goober112 I guess that’s why I don’t fly. I don’t want my stuff mishandled.
having grown up poor, the idea of my 20 pairs of undies being so easily lost and bought by a random tiktoker... drivin me mad thinkin about it.
oh i would be SEETHING.
when i was 14 i traveled to a concert with a rhinestoned hat i’d spent 2 months bejeweling to wear to the show. my bag was lost and i couldn’t afford tracking, and never got it back. i cried for hours. can’t imagine seeing some girl chuck it out on tiktok because she bought my bag. it’s kinda sickening
as someone who lost a luggage with really sentimental items from my deceased grandparents, this hurts
im so sorry this happened to you, this should never have to happen
Why did you put it in your lugagge? Important stuff you keep with yourself, that's literally the basic of basics of traveling.
@@lauralanthalasa7 Cant keep everything on yourself, think a bit further lol
@@kionake1 did I say everything? I said important
@@lauralanthalasa7 did i say everything in your luggage ? i said everything as in *all* important things. Imagine you have an urn with you, or something that is just too big to carry with you. again, think a bit further lol
As someone who grew up on Storage Wars and every variation/knockoff, the confusion and outrage feels so late. One airline had a dedicated retail store called The Land of Lost Luggage
I’ve always been weirded out by that show
If I ever lost my luggage and went to an unclaimed luggage store and ALL my stuff is in there, I’m stealing it back because it’s MY stuff that was “stolen”
I love how that second lady is basically victim blaming, "well, they didn't pick up their luggage so that must mean they're RICH."
uuuh no
Did you guys know apathy is actually the antithesis of love? Not hate, apathy.
There's a pattern here
you should be able to sue the hell out of a company for making you pay to get your luggage back. that's theft!
Isn't it basically extortion?? "We'll keep and then sell your belongings unless you give us more money!"
On this same note, I’m not sure if they sell children’s belongings that are lost too (bc I’m sure those also get lost) but I imagine if they are selling children’s lost luggage that just opens a door for creeps to buy a child’s personal belongings?? And for what???
OH GOD WHY DID YOU MAKE ME THINK OF THIS?? 🤮
@@AutumnPinkyKat as a person that was a victim of creeps as a child, it’s very difficult for me not to notice any time there’s an opportunity for it to happen :/
That's fucking heartbreaking!
Not just because of the thought of a creepo getting a kid's belonging but just thinking of a kid who packed their favourite toy or blanket (sentimental or comfort item) and then finding out they'll never see it again.
@@Rachel-dp2ts Aw, you're gonna be okay. :(
I have no fvcking words. Absolutely disgusting and horrendous. WHY WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE ELSE'S BELONGINGS?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH SOMEONE'S UNDIES?! WEAR IT?!
With crazy sht today, it wouldn't surprise me they would wear a stranger's clothes.
literally? i can’t imagine loosing my close knit belongings just to see someone online mocking them and who is going to profit off of what i need to live. like wow
buying others personal belongings is bad enough but showing it on TIKTOK is the lowest of the low 💀
They sell it, obviously. Not undies, but clothes, shoes, jelewery, books, electronics etc. What else are you proposing regarding tons of lost belongings? Should airports collect it or trash it into landfills?
@@lauralanthalasa7 UHH actually make an effort for reunification or donation?? Hello?
Imagine having someone’s inhaler and they didn’t realize it was in there luggage and died of an asthma attack that’s a fucking L dude
First of all no one would pack their only inhaler in their checked baggage. Second of all the airlines have already tried and failed to return the luggage. These aren't bags of of the latest flight to Paris. They've been sitting for a number of months before going to auction.
Lastly, it's not the influencers fault. They're legally purchasing goods from a corporation that is now the rightful owner of abandoned property.
Damn someone needs the lung dlc upgrade. I can't imagine being allergic to air
@@goober112it’s not having an allergy from air, it’s caused by being exposed to smoke often at any age, which ruins the lungs temporarily or permanently, my brother was exposed to cigarettes and got asthma, but eventually it went away
@@goober112 this comment has me ROLLING
I’m sorry but the way you described someone literally dying from an asthma attack as an L SENT ME😭😭😭 absolutely diabolical
Glorified stealing with a few extra steps
Each time I had a trip by plane I was more stressed while waiting for my luggague than for the actual flight
I flew 4 times in my life. One time my luggage was the last one and I was already nearly crying. My suitcase is teal so it's noticeable. Can't imagine not getting it back...
The existence of a store where people's lost items are sold without their knowledge is crazy
How long is it your? If you don't claim it at the airport is it still yours? Is it still yours when it ends in a landfill?
@@lauralanthalasa7 Like Katylyn said, there are a lot of people who are unable to claim it due to not being able to pay for the airport to return it to them, so technically it's still theirs but they can't get it back. I agree that if it was to end in a landfill it would be better to sell it off to people, but that's not the situation.
Think about it- it's the airport's fault you lost your luggage, they're charging you a lot of money to get it back, and when you don't have that money they just sell your property to other people. I would be extremely angry .
5:47 It's actually the opposite. It's not that they have a lot of money. They just can't afford to stick around the area where the airport is or stick an additional night to try to get someone to help them.
It doesn't mean they can afford to just replace these things.
I'm always terrified of losing my luggage because of people like this lady.
watching these hauls after seeing the videos of that one girl who couldn't get her "lost" luggage back even tho the airtag on it showed it was still at the airport feels extra icky. to top it off that girl had expensive (can't remember if it was life saving but important regardless) medication in her suitcase.
TikTok is a red flag, why tf would you ever buy someone's lost or unclaimed luggage, dude if you want cheap clothes just go to a god damn Goodwill or your nearest thrift store.They should actually ban this app.
Omg im writing a paper as to why tiktok should be banned, now I have another reason (sorta) !! :D
Also the luggage thing is weird, like an invasion of privacy
TikTok has also made thrift stores inaccessible to the people who need it. I’m glad it’s getting banned.
It has nothing to do with the app. These people have been doing this before tiktok was a thing and they will continue doing it because the airlines do it. Storage wars was a very very popular show yeaaaars before Tiktok was a thing. The concept of buying people's lost or abandoned stuff isn't new. If they weren't doing it on tiktok, they'd do it on Instagram and probably already have and they'd be doing it on RUclips and probably already have. The app isn't forcing people to buy unclaimed luggage. It just gives the people that were already buying it an outlet for attention. There are plenty of good people on tiktok that are doing good things for the community and educating people or just posting their art. The tiktokers posting these lost luggage hauls are a minority and it has nothing to do with the app making him do that. RUclips is filled with Temu and Shein hauls. They are starved for clout and they would look for it on any other social media site that was popular.
Nah, the idiots would go to another social media and still being stupid.
How do individuals create an overall opinion of the entire app. Shady people are everywhere 🙄 or did they all just start existing 5yrs ago when tiktok was made 🥴
This came out at such a perfect time for me. I just got reunited with a necklace that was lost 12 years ago. It may have been just a cheap necklace (literally from those coin operated machines) from my childhood but it held so much sentimental value.
If I had never gotten it back and instead someone else showed it off on TikTok I would be devastated. The items in these suitcases aren't just "someone's lost things" they are part of that person's journey in life and we can never know how much these items mean or what importance they hold outside of their material use. For that reason, I think this is so distasteful.
Especially the undergarments being shown?
I'm from the EU, and once I went on a trip to Barcelona with my whole family. On the last day of our trip, somebody broke into our car and took all of my family's belongings. It was just clothes, my best ones as people usually take their prettiest ones on trips, I believe, and some makeup. BUT IT WAS MY STUFF! MY FAVORITE PANTS, DRESS, ETC. And I never got them back!!
When I saw the broken car window and my stuff gone, I was crying so hard. I cannot imagine being the person whose 'lost luggage' was bought and seeing it on the internet. The worst thing is the stuff they stole wasn't even valuable, but it was greatly valuable to me. So they got nothing out of it, but I got a heartbreaking experience. Truly heartbreaking, losing all your favorite belongings in a matter of seconds in a foreign place is horrible. (We didn't get the luggage back)
The items that are new with tags are probably things somebody bought on their trip. Imagine not only an airline losing your luggage, but also wasted some of the money you spent on your trip for souvenirs or just getting items that you wanted but aren't available where you live. Id be so sad and frustrated
What type of mentality you got to have to buy somebody's lost things 😭😭😭
This is just weird and it makes me scared to travel. Imagine getting your suitcase lost and they don't do anything about it, few days later you find some dumb tiktokker bought your stuff. This should be illegal, and no way they have so many stuff and don't find the owners
There is a waiting period . They don’t toss it that quick. But it’s weird either way.
There was recently a pretty sad story surfacing on TikTok where there was this foster cat that this animal group was trying to fly over to its new owners, but in the cargo, the car busted out of its carrier and somehow escaped. The airline company was acting a bit sus and it almost seemed like they were covering up something. Idk if they ever found the cat 😞
An airline lost my luggage and barely got it back. The process to get back my OWN items, that I paid extra to bring on the flight with me, was insane. The first issue that rises is sometimes you don't get on the same flight as your luggage.So lets say your flight is canceled, but the one your luggage is on... isn't canceled... Well that sucks! This happened to my husband and I to travel on a cruise. Our flight ended up canceled, and we learned, with great horror, that our bag was already part way to our final destination. The hoops we had to jump through... Getting to a different airport, finding out our luggage went to a different airport in a different state, driving there, waiting 2 hours for our luggage to arrive, hoping and praying it was going to... all before we were to get on a cruise, without any of our clothes!! Thankfully my husband is a stubborn man who is tenacious when it comes to hunting down the right representative with things.
There is something deeply immoral in airlines selling lost luggage for profit. It puts them in a weird position where it seems to benefit the company to lose your bags. I also would absolutely not buy some lost suitcase unless it was with their intention of trying to reunite it with its owner. And I certainly wouldn't do it withiut wearing protective clothing. I saw a docu on the lost luggage store a couple years ago, and when they sort through them they have to wear PPE.
I also don't always trust that the people doing these "hauls" have genuinely bought one of the suitcases, but rather have staged it themselves...especially when clothes come out looking pristine.
This remonded me about a thing I remember hearing about, when someone who put an gps tag of some kind in their case when travelling then got their bags misplaced. The airline gave them the run around, but it was supposed to be being couriered to them (i think it was at their hotel). It didn't turn up. More run around. The bag owner checked the gps data and it showed the suitcase was at a residential addresss in their city, and it didn't move for days. They ended up going there and found dozens of suitcases piled up. I think the police were called in and there was a whole thing but they did get their bag back. The airline said the "courier" was stealing the cases. It was allreally weird.
The airlines don't care. I flew to Glasgow once and our plane was tiny, so our luggage came on another plane, and someone's luggage arrived DESTROYED. The stuff INSIDE was torn. The couple were furious, but the airline only offered them £50 in compensation (not even enough for a new suitcase).
I go to the USA every year, and anything I absolutely balls to the wall CANNOT lose- it goes in the carry-on. Jewellery, cash, sentimental items of clothing. The checked suitcase is replaceable items only.
My mom has stuff in a storage unit bc of her fiance telling her that it was to keep things safe. He never paid for the unit and it was in his name and she lost EVERYTHING after they broke up. Then a couple yrs later someone on FB messaged my mom telling her they saw my mom's old book that had her name and my shots from when I was a baby and sent her a picture that had her name. When mom verified it was hers the person mailed it to my mom. She was so happy.
Yeah, I have a couple friends who have lost storage units that way. My own father has also sold my belongings that I had in storage until I was able to get to a more stable living situation, so now all I own is a small amount of clothes, a printer, and a handful of other stuff I was able to get out of my last place and physically carry with me.
If she is paying for it, why is it in his name?
@@YurinanAcquiline she didn't pay for it. He told her he'd pay for it bc he convinced her to stop working and be a stay at home mom for us and his kids. So he did everything. And in the end he didn't do what he said he would do and when they broke up she was in the hospital (mental reasons) and everything was in his name and he didn't pay for the storage unit.
it should be illegal. the person who lost their luggage didn't consent to have their items sold in the first place. crazy how this is legal and completely 'fine'.
The worst part about this is that it is abusing the system. Airports sell lost and unclaimed luggages so the owners can find their belongings and pay the small fee for it back. NOT for some random person to buy it.
Why would you ever buy this. That's borderline stalker behavior.
they could you know need the clothes
to sell the things in a flea market (like grandma does) of course the underwear you should not use or sell! that's unhygienic!
thats not what stalker behavior is💀🚶♀️
@@YN-rg9fw stalking is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear,” according to the Department of Justice.
fr. it’s giving joe from YOU 💀💀
girl what
do ppl not realize that a BEDBUG can live for an entire YEAR & A HALF without a single feeding?? (& they don't JUST live "by the BED" EITHER) bedbugs love to travel, & they gotta feed as soon as they hatch.. meaning, they LOVE hats, shoes & purses) 💁🏼♀ sometimes u gotta b careful about who's stuff you're digging thru.. back when we found out that the apartment where we were living in, a couple decades ago, had bedbugs, we moved, & left everything behind.. i even found abuncha eggs, IN MY WEDDING RING.. (no wonder my hand was always so itchy there, with what looked to b a rash, around my ring finger 🤦🏼♀)
I lost my luggage containing my diary when I was a teenager. I hate the thought of some stranger reading my deepest, most angsty and awkward thoughts on a tiktok to thousands of people
New fear unlocked
"For my stupid little tictok videO" that needs to be a viral sound, chefs kiss
And unfortunately, it's one of those things where the emapthy won't compute to them unless it's them going thru it....sad how far removed people are
This is my first time hearing that airlines charge YOU for returning back the luggage that THEY lost, excuse me 😀
Cus back in 2014, we went to a not soo facy mid airline that sent our bag to a different airplane which ended up miles away in the south, but after like a week we got it back, for FREE- so I am like baffled that there are airlines companies who would stoop down soo low to charge people for their own mistakes 💀
id be so pissed if i brought my personal belongings and they sold MY STUFF and not even try to give it back.
This is why I only do carry on. Unfortunately airlines are being jerks there too and limiting the carry on size to be so small you can’t fit more than two changes of clothes. Screw the airlines for being so greedy and getting away with it because they know we have no other choice. REGULATE THE AIRLINES.
The carry-on limit has gotten so small I had to use a school-bag sized backpack, but I made it fit. They want to play games I can play back. Just put on like 4 layers of clothes before you board. What are they gonna do about it?
I dont have a problem with people buying lost luggage, we're curious beings after all and it's definitely a better option that just throwing the luggage into trash. What I do have a problem with is why it's a business in the first place and why those items aren't just donated or recycled. Or, you know, why the airlines don't do their jobs in the first place or improve the whole luggage system.
Help what, we're buying random people's lost luggage..?
Welcome, bedbugs and/or lice, right???
It’s actually been a trend for years
@@FruitaFuka Yeah, true, you see it pop up a couple times each year. Sigh..
@@myriiakattYeah, it’s really weird and unfortunate
ok just saying don't judge these people. My grandmother and mother buy lost luggage to sell to be able to financially sustain themselves or use the clothes themselves( not the underwear ofc)
From some comments they have said that the airlines wait a while before selling the luggage which is kinda the least they can do when they mess up and loose luggage. If the airlines had a better system in place to prevent them from losing luggage then maybe they wouldn’t have luggage pile up and feel the need to sell it. Someone’s luggage is so much responsibility and so many airlines truly don’t care at all what happens to the bag
A great way to avoid the airport losing your luggage is to have a tracker like an air tag in your suitcase to call them out
a few years back when I was younger, my mom lost custom made costumes for her students that were made back in the 90s when she first put together her dance company. I still remember watching dance shows where all the students were wearing those clothes and to think one day I could come across a tiktoker shifting through my moms costumes that holds so many memories and mistreating them is insane. I'd honestly be furious.
Maybe instead of doing a yard sale, I should just put all my old clothes and used toiletries in a ratty suitcase and sell it to TikTokers. 🤔🤔🤔
I lost my luggage once and the process to recover It was SO FRUSTRATING , I went to like three offices because the employes didn't knew where I could fill a form.
At the end of the day I did It and I got my stuff back ;D
But Is frustrating because those luggages are there not because of the owners....
But the owners are still being criticized because they couldnt get their stuff back.
I have always wondered, if these poor people actually see their luggage being opened and criticized for some views. How would these "influencers" feel if THEIR luggage was bought LMAO. Thank you SO much, I love your viewpoint on this. It reminds us of how the innocent victims would see this situation. Honestly, I agree, these people who have lost their luggage are victims. Also I have to say, I worked at a resort for many years. The very wealthy that would come to stay were literally the cheapest. They were the ones that would go to lost and found to find a pair of gloves. They rarely tipped. If I had a dollar for every time we got a call because one of them left something in their room. Generally, these calls were for things that the rest of us, would just repurchase. I found it ironic, when they were around their piers they would be high rollers, tipping like crazy, picking up checks, and overall just throwing money around. However, when it came down to private, they would pinch every single penny LMAO.
as if i didn't have a million reasons to never travel via airplane this one would piss me off if i saw some random tiktoker showing the entire world my underwear or complaining about my ipad not being brand new and heavily used
I think showing off the person’s stuff (especially undies and bras) is definitely weird asl and gross. But I think we should really be placing the blame on the airports 🤷🏽♀️ they need to change their policies. They should be responsible for getting people their stuff back and not just waiting around for them to show up. Like send that shit to their house idk (ik it’s probably just people not wanting to do their jobs tho, it seems like it’s pretty common in most industries)
Exactly and if the airport had better ppl and policies and practices in place for not losing someone’s stuff then they wouldn’t have a lot of luggage piling up. I get that sometimes ppl lose something around the airport or in whatever place. There is no way there are this many ppl that skip looking for their bags at the luggage carousel . The amount of luggage airports manage to loose is insane. I get that they have a schedule and have to be efficient and fast but it seems that it causes more inefficiency bc they keep having to track down someone’s luggage and return it or wait for someone to get there.
This isn’t a luggage story but similar. I used to do my laundry at the local laundry mat. I went to go pick up my 2 HUGE loads of laundry (they have really big washers and dryers so the loads are enormous) Well I got there to pick up all of my laundry to find it was all gone. No one at the laundry mat saw anyone and the manager was no help. So I just had to go out and buy new clothes after spending almost $40 at the laundry mat. I still think about my clothes even 2 years after. Then my ex stole all my clothes a year after that… So yea having personal things taken from you is extremely hard and you will always remember your items that went missing. I still look for some of my old clothing and then remember or realize that it’s now gone forever.
My dad lost a bag once when we went to Hawaii to visit my uncle, and they told us that he will have to check a few times a day because they dont contact the people whos bags they have, they rely on the customer reaching out to them. This was a long time ago, but i dont see why it would change. So many bags are lost or unclaimed, every airport would need a handful of employees who do nothing but try to contact bag owners.
Welp now I'm even more scared of flying than I was before THANKS TIK TOK!
This whole thing feels weird to me… and honestly it starts with the airports/people doing the selling. Really important things can and do get lost in luggage and the people who could be doing something about it are more intent on making some quick cash.
I’ve been to the Unclaimed Baggage store in Alabama. It’s huge. They have a cafe and even a museum where they showcase their most unique items. I remember my mom and I asking a worker what their most memorable find was in the luggage and they said they’ve literally opened bags with urns in them…
this is DISGUSTING and a new fear unlocked 😭😭😭 ewwwww, the people who buys them to sniff the used items 😨🤢 Or sell it to others to make the profit .... 😱😱
I’ve been flying my entire life and been lucky enough to never lose my luggage and I have been hauling around IRREPLACEABLE SENTIMENTAL SHIT this entire time. I’m horrified that this could’ve been me. Ever since I heard about luggage being lost more often, I’ve started to put an airtag in it.
Bro this is exactly like the lost delivery packages but luggage edition and the fact that the person's belongings are in there instead of some product from the online market ☠☠☠
how is this fcking legal
This makes me sick. It’s like breaking into somebody’s home to rummage through their wardrobes and dressers and show your audience on TikTok all their underwear and belongings. It’s a huge violation of privacy.
RUclipsrs were doing this way before TikTok. I remember multiple videos by Hopescope.
Using a second hand suitcase would freak me out, I'd worried about... substances being hidden
13:22 what really bothers me about the “designer” stuff they sell at high prices is that you probably can’t even know if it’s real or not, because it belonged to someone and u have no evidence to back up its originality whatsoever, so someone might buy one of these for hundreds of dollars without knowing that it’s fake lmao
There are people out there who’s job is to verify the authenticity of designer items like that. Pretty sure a store like that would have to go through that process cause I’m like 90% sure they could get in a lot of trouble for selling knockoff products.
this has the same awful energy as people buying lost post items
If I had the money I'd buy lost luggage and then try to get it back to the original owner. Buying it and keeping it just feels wrong.
Sadly, even by trying to do things ethically, you'd still be funding/enabling the airline to continue this practice.
I wouldn't even be shocked if there were people trying to return the items already / possibly even content creators doing it for clout ngl.
@@HemiLeo_ Very true. Hadn't thought about it in that way.
The only thing that could be okay about this is if they were bought and genuinely tried to find the owners/family before opening and only waiting months while actually trying to find the owner/family.
This makes me think of how when someone can't pay for thwir stprage unit, the people that own the storage units will lock the renters out, wait for payment for like, a month or whatever, and then people will go "buy" the storage unit and sell the stuff inside if they can. It's disgusting. Those are someone's belongings and you just bought them to try to make a quick buck and throw out what you can't sell.
I hate people.
The lost luggage buying all ways rubbed me the wrong way I’m glad people agree. This is like horrific- this is the number 1 reason why I don’t fly planes
Just imagine they auction a unicorn suitcase or wtv that belonged to a 7 year old and an old creep buys it....
ew ew ew nooooooo :(
Weird how airports or whatever can sell people's lost luggages like it's weird when people bought other people's lost packages and now it's more weird that people are buying other people's lost luggages
Edit: also it's weird how some people are defending people buying lost luggages like they should at least find out who the real owner of the luggage is instead of making a TikTok on going through the said person's luggage
As an Irish person the pronunciation is killing me 😭😭😭😭😭 (still love u tho drama kween ❤)
Honestly, this just feels like theft with a few extra steps...
Ok so luggage and lost mail/packages is weird to me. How are these places ABLE to sell these? They aren’t returned items but LOST property…
the only reason someone should do this is to be better than airports and actually find the owners of the lost luggage to give it back to them. 😒
FFS! How can this be normalised?! 🤬
The only reason why i ever see this being okay is if the buyer tries to give it back to the owner
You gotta imagine like while yes might just be a random lu Lu lemon shirt to the people buying the luggage however it may have allot of sentimental value to the orginal owners
i agree with you this is disturbing.
an airline actually attempted to "lose my luggage" once, because, yeah, a 16 year old girl alone seemed like an easy target. except i threw a whole fit, fake cried and got the attention of multiple people who started demanding the staff helped me (young girl in despair helps, sometimes), all while audio recording the interaction on my phone. needless to say, my luggage did show up a couple of days later. just imagining someone could be doing that shit with my luggage makes me wanna puke
your makeup looks so beautiful omg
Naomi Jon, a youtuber I love, did a video unpacking lost luggage a while and it really put me off of her for a little bit... Just so strange and invasive.
Seeing random people's sentimental belongings exposed for the world to see without their permission feels awful.
The airport once lost my luggage and I only found it because the person who bought it got arrested for what was in my luggage. I bought a Gibson girl (WW2 emergency beacon) and there is a button that you shouldn't press because it sends out an SOS to the Air Force channel. Dude pressed it a few dozen times because "ooh big red button". Got my luggage back tho. I also got to keep the Gibson girl
If I saw my stuff on one of these videos I would been so pissed
I don’t understand why it isn’t the airports responsibility to pay for every expense associated with lost luggage if the airport lost it.
So gross and ridiculous. When are we as a society going to stop supporting these unethical practices so that it can come to an end. Influencers and resellers ruined thrift stores, now they're taking away peoples personal items for profit and views.
Also it appears some airlines are just immediately selling “lost baggage” to these stores when the owners are trying to get it back. Saw someone had left airtags in their luggage cuz they were flying internationally. And they immediately contacted the airline, as they could see where it was, only to see the bag being moved to one of those facilities. So it’s not even waiting months to be sent to those stores
I have suddenly gained a new understanding of why my oldest two siblings, after loosing their luggage three times between them, are now so insistent about keeping their possessions to just carry-ons. Only my brother ever really travels out of the country and it's usually just to Aus or Britain, so they can both get away with it (or just flat out refusing and taking on a few days to use the inter-island ferry and work around that, in my sister's case), but hot damn. Never even considered this as a thing, but I've also never traveled by plane before.
