According to CNN a 40.95-carat natural emerald was found in luggage that had been left behind and never claimed...small fortune.

Sounds like a smuggler's lost luggage.

I just googled Australian airlines, and some of the things they've had left behind are an artificial leg, a sleep apnea machine, a sewing machine, a vintage telephone and musical instruments.

It said some 5,000 items were left behind last year. After a time, they action them off and give the proceeds to charity.

Not sure what year it was, but at an airport in Burlington, Vermont, USA, security found an unusual lipstick case in a woman's bag. On closer inspection, it was discovered that the lipstick was, in fact....a 350,000 volt stun-gun!

In 2010, at Bangkok International Airport, Thailand, a woman was found with a sedated 2-month-old tiger cub hidden in her luggage. She admitted she'd been planning to sell the cub on the Iranian black market.
