It was explained that sometimes people choose to leave something at the airport. Maybe those jeans don't fit anyway, and by leaving them in the restroom, they'll get their bag below the airline's weight limit. Other times, it's a total accident. They will eventually realize they don't have their driver's license but may not know they dropped it at the ticket counter.

When airport staff find items like driver's licenses or credit cards, they attempt to find their rightful owners, but that's not always easy. Do you answer calls from numbers you don't recognize? Do you even listen to those voicemails? Most items aren't as easy to place with their owners, and they end up in the lost and found room, hoping to be reunited with their owners one day.

So, what are some of the craziest things that Boise Airport has recovered? The answers will surprise you!
