voyeurs paradise

anybody happen to be in miami this weekend? tomorrow miami-dade international airport is holding an auction for unclaimed items that travelers left behind. as expected, there are a gazillion cell phones and laptops, but what puzzles me more are objects like bikes and one piñata. how do you forget your piñata at the airport? and how do you explain your lack of piñata to the eagerly waiting person at your destination? 

another intriguing element to this auction: you can bid on unclaimed sealed boxes- no one knows what's inside these puppies! most likely what is actually inside is not as exciting as imagining what's inside (an easter basket! a garden gnome! a jellybean sculpture of the Philly Phanatic, official mascot of the Phillies!).
