Ever wondered what happens to items that get left behind at the airport?
Well, in Sydney Australia they hold an annual charity auction.
Sydney Airport raised A$130,000 with their 2013 auction, and 2014's results should be known soon.
The airport says that it makes every effort to re-unite owners with their property, but many hundreds of items remain unclaimed each year.
As you'd expect lots include all manner of portable electronics as well as clothing, but some of the more unlikely lots include sporting goods and artworks.

According to reports from ABC in Australia, a Virgin Australia jet was forced to return to Los Angeles after take off due to a plumbing problem with two of its sinks.
There was no threat to passenger safety, but leaks from the sinks caused an obnoxious smell affecting passengers, and the captain made the decision to return.
The flight took off on Tuesday from Los Angeles to Sydney via New Zealand when 3 hours into the flight passengers reported hearing the toilets 'explode'. This was followed by effluent running down the aisles. Passengers closest to the problem were offered masks to help with the smell.
Virgin Australia said that the flight was turned around for the comfort of passengers and that the aircraft has since been returned to service.
