A ‘mystery vending machine’ is spotted at a railway station, giving buyers the opportunity to take a punt on the items inside.
According to an X user @bovineflu, the machine’s contents is made up of unclaimed packages from delivery lockers. It’s claimed each one has never been opened and therefore customers have no idea what they could be buying.
Interesting unclaimed package:
In 2015, Tokyo’s Narita International Airport auctioned off unclaimed items, including a parcel containing approximately $7,500 in cash. Auctions like these often include luxury goods such as designer handbags, with some items valued at tens of thousands of dollars.
One interesting unclaimed case involved a collection of vintage film reels. These reels contained several rare films thought to be lost to time. Their discovery provided historians and film enthusiasts with invaluable insights into early cinema.
In another more bizarre case, a suitcase full of live tropical fish was found unclaimed. The aquarium inside the suitcase was equipped with battery-operated aerators, suggesting someone had gone to considerable lengths to transport these creatures, possibly illegally.
Finally, a set of very expensive, finely crafted artificial limbs was left unclaimed at an airport. The unique nature not only made them stand out but also presented a challenge on how to appropriately handle them.
