And the stuff collected in the vast storage area, items passengers have left behind, will boggle your mind.Some of the things are so fanciful that it feels like you have been transported to a scene out of a Star Wars movie. Other stuff is so ordinary that it’s like walking into a drugstore.Thirteen-year veteran and lost and found supervisor for the Orlando International Airport, Patricia Sarria, took WESH 2 on a magical mystery tour of sorts.The first thing that got our attention was a used Keurig coffee maker. Yes, someone took the trouble to bring one on a trip and left it at a checkpoint.There are enough coats and jackets to rival a department store.Naturally, we found a mismatch of stuffed animals. Some brand new, some used and most likely very cherished. There were plenty of theme park souvenirs. The most popular were Star Wars light sabers.One passenger lost a refrigerator used to store makeup. We didn’t know such a thing even existed. We found a karaoke machine, canes of all shapes and sizes, crutches, baseball caps, and hats galore.People lose track of their electronics. There are cabinets full of those. Plus, wedding rings and the occasional set of car keys.There are Social Security cards stashed in containers and duty-free whisky found in the men's room. And as we talked, hundreds of new items were flowing in to be sorted and logged.Things found in the past include the bumper to a car, false teeth, a loved one's ashes, and a wedding dress. Believe it or not, the bride forgot it in the airport on the way to her wedding. The folks with Orlando International Airport got it back to her just in time for her big day."She actually had it in a piece of luggage and she was crying. But they were happy tears," Sarria said.The two most common items people leave behind are belts and glasses. All kinds of glasses, including prescription and sunglasses.They said the vast majority of items are left at security checkpoints.Orlando International Airport holds lost items for 30 days while they try to find the owners. After that, the stash is donated or auctioned off. And the cycle of the life of forgotten items, flowing in and out of lost and found at Orlando International Airport, begins all over again.</div></body>
