Implants Left at Hotel; UK Hotel Chain Lists Strangest Things Left by Guests in 2012
U.K. hotel chain Travelodge announced the full list of lost and found things left by guests over the past 12 months.
Travelodge posted a press announcement on Jan. 2 that included a bizarre array of guest belongings that were found by hotel staff.
One of the items left was a set of breast implants that were reportedly left at the Newcastle Central Travelodge. The implants were forgotten by a woman who was on her way to have cosmetic surgery and she apparently purchased them in the United States before bringing them with her to the UK.
In addition to the breast implants, a 30 pound micro pig named Percy was found at one hotel while a pet python aptly named Monty was found at the Bristol Severn View Travelodge.
Another tiny animal was found by staff that turned out to be a Persian Chinchilla kitten that was worth around $975.
"The owner was in such a dash to get to the show that she forgot the cat box containing Porsha," the statement elaborated. "En-route to the venue she realized as the car journey was very quiet. Luckily Porsha was having a nap and did not realize that her owner had left her behind."
Hotel staff also found a "Harry Potter" prop wand that was used by one of the actors in the film which is worth an estimated $1,600, according to The Daily Mail.
The hotel chain also said approximately 76,500 teddy bears were left behind by children last year. Author E.L. James' erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey was a popular book found with nearly 7,000 copies that were later trashed after they were left behind.
The budget hotel chain has 527 hotels and services over 13 million people each year.
