Travelodge reunites 75,000 owners with their teddy bears
What do a hamster, 100 Duchess of Cambridge masks, a Vera Wang wedding gown and an urn have in common?
They’re amongst the many weird and wonderful objects found in Travelodge’s lost property office.
The budget hotel chain also reports Ferrari keys, a suitcase of designer dog outfits and collars and a rare Toby jug as items left behind by customers.
Predictably perhaps, a mobile phone or charger comes top of the list of forgotten items but leaving a teddy bear behind is the third most common.
Travelodge says it has reunited 75,000 forgotten cuddly bears with their owners during 2011.
Since January 2011 all items left behind at Travelodge hotels that have not been claimed within three months have been donated to Cancer Research UK charity shops across the UK.
