Scottsboro, AL - Come Bid on Lost Luggage

Legend has it that Scottsboro, Alabama, was actually created out of the frustration of every traveler that has used an airline over the last half-century. Not really. In truth, Scottsboro is known for being the place where the world's unclaimed luggage ends up. Travelers can even visit the town and bid on lost luggage sight unseen. While we're pretty sure that most of the lost luggage only contains things like clothes, there have been some notable finds here.

The museum that houses some of the more rare finds claims that in addition to finding the guidance system of an F-16 fighter jet, people have found expensive paintings and an Egyptian artifact.
