About this season
One person’s lost bag is another person’s found treasure. Lost and Found promises to answer the universal question, “What happens to all the suitcases, bags and stuff travelers lose at airports and on planes?” In this hour-long repeatable special, we follow the journey of the ‘stuff’ from LOST at the Seattle International Airport, to FOUND by a new owner at Unclaimed Baggage (one of the largest tourist attractions in the state of Alabama), or SOLD at auction at the Pittsburgh International Airport.
