There is a silver lining in the lost luggage cloud and it's in Alabama. That's where most lost luggage that cannot be reunited with its owner is sent. There are always bargains to be found, if you can quiet your fears of arousing bad karma by capitalizing on someone else's loss. Just remember that the loss is a done deal and the owner has been compensated by the airline. The store is open seven days a week with an ever-changing array of merchandise that's likely to include CD players, video cameras, jewelry and other frequently conveyed items, as well as the luggage they arrived in.
Periodic sales focus on items like ski or scuba gear.
