Brisbane Airport’s lost property auction this Sunday will offer an array of oddities, including a ukulele, a hoverboard and items worth thousands of dollars.

In the market for a pre-loved ukulele, horse stirrups, a hoverboard, or perhaps a set of miniature broomsticks?

“Some items you assume served their purpose on holidays and were then abandoned before security – boogie boards, strollers, cricket bats,” Lloyds Auctioneers chief operations officer Lee Hames said. But leaving behind big-ticket items such as an IWC Schaffhausen pilot’s watch, estimated to be worth up to $30,000, is mind-boggling.

About 60,000 people pass through Brisbane Airport every week, and every effort is made to return belongings to their rightful owners, airport chief executive Gert-Jan de Graaff said.But about two-thirds of items remain unclaimed after the standard holding period, he added.
