It’s an odd list. Why would anyone bring £2,000 casino chips to the city? Why would you carry an oxygen tank? And why would you take a three-metre-long Chinese dragon to town?
The better question is this: Why would you leave them there? It’s one which staff at Travelodges across the city-region have been left scratching their heads over.
Those are just some of the weird, wonderful, and wacky things left by guests at the budget hotels over the past year. Last year, the list included a £150,000 Bentley Continental GT supercar — and deeds to a chip shop.
