A ROUND the world cruise ticket, a vintage £5,000 bottle of Bordeaux red wine and a diamond necklace were among the bizarre items left at a Southampton hotel in 2016.

Among the other strange items found in the lost and found office for the city’s Travelodge was a small child’s sailboat, a collection of postcards from around the world, a tool box, a Chanel handbag, a box of cake stands and a surf board.

On Monday, the company, which has a chain of 525 hotels across the UK and accommodates over 18million people a year, revealed some of the more interesting loot left behind in their hotels during the last 12 months.

Incredibly strange items have also been found at other branches across the country.

One customer staying at Harrogate Travelodge, for instance, forgot to pack their beloved Shih Tzu Harold and only remembered after 40 minutes driving down the M62.

One fashion conscious customer also left behind a trio of prosthetic legs at Manchester Piccadilly Travelodge. Each leg wore a different designer shoe.

Keys to a haveli – a mansion – in Delhi, India, were also found as well as a cat called Yoda, a necklace made of £50 notes, a new Mercedes AMG car, wedding vows from the 1950’s and a 40-year-old teddy bear which belonged to a CEO of a company.

A Swarovski encrusted waving cat - a lucky Chinese charm - was also left by man who was so distraught about leaving it behind he arranged for a special overnight courier to collect it and bring it back to him.

A large vintage cuckoo clock was also discovered in a room at Chester Central while a gold portrait of Elvis Presley was found at London Aldgate East.

A three-foot Cheetah ornament was left in Newcastle, a suitcase of rupees at Birmingham Newhall Street and a Monkey Puzzle Tree was also discovered in Portsmouth.

Staff also had a surprise when they entered one room and found a wedding cake in the design of a Disney castle at Liverpool Strand.

Baffled hotel workers also discovered a pair of four foot pillars covered in fresh white roses at the Burford hotel, in the Cotswolds.

After finding the items the company tries its best to reunite them with their owners but if they cannot they donate them to charity, after going unclaimed for three months.

Travelodge spokeswoman, Shakila Ahmed said: “For a variety of reasons we do get some interesting and precious items being left behind.

“Our customers tell us that the pace of modern life is fast and furious and time is off the essence especially when getting from A to B therefore valuable possessions are easily being forgotten.”
