"Airport crackdown means mountain of unclaimed mobiles"

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/01/ai...ecurity_survey/

My first GSM-900 phone was a Nokia 8110 purchased on eBay from a fellow who bought unclaimed stuff from airline lost & found auctions. It came with no charger and a dead battery. It was sold "as is" and when I was able to put enough charge on the battery to know that it both worked and was not SIM locked I knew I had a winner. That's still one of my favorite phones.

i am tempted to find out if they have auctions for that kind of thing hehehe
