News from all over - Los Angeles
What do 275 laptop computers, 662 sets of keys and 206 cellphones have in common with a set of dentures, a peach-colored bra and a boxed "Walking and Dancing Hula Doll"?
They are among the more than 12,000 items left behind by harried passengers passing through security at Los Angeles International Airport in the first five months of 2005.
The forgotten loot ranges from the seemingly vital - 233 driver's licenses, 37 passports, 461 pairs of eyeglasses, 56 Medicare cards and 56 prescription drug vials - to seemingly trifling items, like purple lip gloss, a toe ring, a stuffed purple-and-white toy dog and a book titled "Left Behind."
