From puppies named after celeb power couple to 500 lotto tickets – bizarre items left at Travelodges last year
PUPPIES named Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were among items left at Travelodges last year.
The owner thought her husband had taken the two Japanese Chins home from their stay in a separate car.
She realised their mistake on arriving home in Cheshire — and immediately drove 170 miles back to Bath to collect JLo and Ben.
At Manchester Piccadilly, hotel cleaners got a fright when they found a two-metre Chinese dragon lizard in a room.
In Aberdeen, staff discovered a sleigh full of Christmas presents, while a bride’s wedding favours of 500 National Lottery scratchcards were found in Newcastle.
A five-tier Liverpool FC wedding cake was left by a best man in the city’s hotel, while a cardboard cut-out of manager Jurgen Klopp was also abandoned.
An embarrassed company chief sent his assistant 250 miles to fetch a new £15,000 personalised “John” number plate from the Travelodge in Woking, Surrey.
And a well-known tattoo artist left his portfolio at Gatwick before flying home to New York.
After the Queen’s funeral, a French jeweller left a replica crown at the King’s Cross hotel — and a Windsor guest forgot he booked another room for his oil painting of Her Majesty.
Most commonly forgotten items included mobile phone chargers, gadgets, books, toys, jewellery, toiletries and clothes.
Items left at the 580 UK Travelodges go to the British Heart Foundation if unclaimed after three months.
