This massive 3m long brass instrument was somehow overlooked by its owners and left unseen in an airport, just lying around in the departure lounge.

#8 Violin

A Violin might not sound like an odd thing to leave, right? but your wrong this violin still lays in the unclaimed baggage and it turns out that its a violin from the 1770s a beautiful antique and most likely valuable piece.
