A CARTIER bracelet and signed divorce papers are just two of the items sitting in a budget hotel’s lost and found office in Oxford.

A trunk full of Swan Lake ballerina outfits and plane tickets to Los Angeles are also on the list of ‘unusual treasures’ that have been left in Travelodge hotels in the city.

Details were revealed yesterday in the hotel chain’s annual lost and found audit of some of the interesting items left behind in its 557 UK hotels during the last 12 months.

With an increase in business customers staying at Travelodge hotels across the UK, it has seen a rise in more valuable items being left behind at its hotels.

A 21-year-old lucky penny belonging to a CEO was another item left behind.

Shakila Ahmed, Travelodge spokeswoman, said: “As we have more business customers staying with us than ever before, we have seen a rise this year in important business papers, valuable items and lucky charms being left behind in our hotels.

“When it comes to why so many customers forget their treasured items, there is one common theme, and that’s living in a fast & furious world.”

She added: “Where time is of the essence, especially when getting from A to B, valuable possessions are easily being forgotten.”

More ‘bizarre’ items left behind at other Travelodge branches around the country include, two Persian cats, a chest full of semi-precious stones, a replica of Meghan Markle’s wedding dress and a handmade 5ft chocolate Easter bunny.

Some of the most common items that people forget to leave with at hotels are chargers for mobile phones, teddy bears, toiletry bags and drones.

All items left at Travelodge hotels which have not been claimed within three months are donated to local British Heart Foundation charity shops.
