In Madrid, more than 5,600 items that were lost in the city and never claimed by their owners are set to be auctioned off. From October 5 to October 13, the annual event will showcase a variety of valuable finds, including luxury fashion items, gaming equipment, and rare collectables. The auction will take place at the Madrid City Council's lost property service, which has handled over 78,000 objects in 2025 alone.
Among the highlights are a Louis Vuitton suitcase valued at €1,300, a Piaget Altiplano rose-gold watch valued at over €5,100, and a 1977 Star Wars poster. Other unusual items include a section of window from the RMS Olympic, the sister ship of the Titanic, and a selection of photography equipment ranging from modern devices to older cameras. The auction aims to give unwanted belongings a second life and contribute to the municipal budget.
