MSP Airport’s Funniest and Strangest Lost And Found Items

Okay, buckle up, because airport lost and found is NOT just sad, lonely hoodies and abandoned neck pillows. At MSP, people are losing really odd things. We're talking a walking stick with a brass knob, a rainbow painted ukulele, and even a full costume.

For real. Somewhere out there is a person who flew home without a giant fuzzy suit and just decided to move on with life.

So if you ever thought your phone charger was the most dramatic thing to lose at the airport, allow MSP to gently humble you. Here are some of the most “I need to know who lost this” items from Minnesota's biggest airport.

First up, a disposable camera: Did we time travel? Is it 2004? Someone left one sitting in the TSA line. You just know that roll of film had blurry vacation pics and at least one accidental thumb shot.

A gorilla costume: Yup. MSP’s lost and found has had items so bizarre that staff joke about who actually showed up in it.

A full-size bathroom scale, because nothing says travel vibes like checking your weight before boarding. MSP Magazine confirmed that yes, people have left those behind too.

A tea kettle, because you just never know when you want to bust out the set and have a tea party, am I right?

Multiple CPAP machines, which feels less quirky and more mildly alarming.

A full bottle of pinot noir. Yup. Someone ditched a wine bottle, and it ended up in lost & found. I wonder if they need me to pick that up on their behalf?

There was also a locked diary, which feels straight out of a teen drama. Someone’s deepest secrets just sitting there, silently judging everyone.

And perhaps the most jaw-dropping of all, a prosthetic leg that was reportedly never claimed. I have questions. So many questions.

What's the craziest thing you've left behind at the airport?
