A BARGAIN-HUNTER who spent £129.99 buying an unclaimed suitcase from Heathrow has revealed how her gamble paid off.
Becky is no stranger to finding money-saving buys, whether she’s in the charity shop or at a boot sale, and decided to see if she could find any gems in someone’s lost luggage.
She took to TikTok to document the process of opening the case, and things got off to a good start as she found a pair of black sparkly UGG boots.
While she wasn’t sure if the boots were authentic, she said they looked brand new, and they would have retailed for around £170 if they were real UGGs.
She then came across some Juicy Couture sliders, which would have been around £25, as well as a “random” box of Pokemon cards.
“I have no idea why you’d need to take them on holiday, but there you go,” Becky noted about the cards, which sell for around £37 new.
She then found two pairs of hair straighteners, before spotting the famous Apple logo on something underneath.
Becky then discovered it was an iPad – a find she labelled “absolutely mad”.
“I plugged it in, and the charging symbol and the welcome screen came up, so I have no idea if it works or not, but I’m feeling hopeful,” she smiled.
The case was also full of brand new Shein clothes, as Becky admitted: “I’m still really skeptical about these lost luggage cases, because although so far this is the best one I’ve received, none of it actually makes any sense to be a legitimate person’s suitcase!
“It’s all very random, but I guess that’s what you get.”
There was a bag of men’s toiletries, as well as a make-up bag full of cosmetics, including some Chanel ones.

“Then I found these two fitness tracker watch things,” she said, of one which looked to be an Apple Watch, around £89 second hand, as well as a £69 OrthoPulse one.
The haul continued with a pair of toddler adidas trainers, which were new with tags, and would have cost around £40 in stores.
A Kindle was up next, although Becky noted it was slightly “beat up”, as well as a toy tractor, two pairs of goggles, another full make-up bag, two books, a belt, a pair of shoes and loads more clothing.
She also came across her favourite item from the case – a brightly coloured faux fur leopard print coat.
In total, the case contents are estimated to have been worth around £990.
“The most random selection of things were in this suitcase,” Becky wrote in the video caption.
“That’s my luggage!!!! it isn’t but can you imagine someone watching this video recognises it? lol,” one person commented on the video.

“When we pack we mix our stuff up in case someone’s case goes missing so we all have bits of each other’s clothing,” a third commented.
“Shoes, clothes, swimwear etc – might be why it’s jumbled up.”
“The suitcase alone was worth it,” someone else pointed out.
