[7-10] LOST LUGGAGE: BAGGAGE BATTLE          

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): Across the country, families are heading out for the holiday weekend.  And a lot of them will return home without their suitcases.  [1]Thousands of bags go missing everyday at airports and people never find them or pick them up.  [2]It creates a mountain of opportunity.  ABC's Lindsey Davis explains how [3]someone else's loss could be your gain.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): MIA, not only [4]an acronym for Miami International Airport, but [5]missing in action.  Laptops, cameras, bikes, [6]all kinds of luggage left in the lurch.  This is where it comes to die.  [7]Only the headstones in this cemetery are all unmarked.  None of these bags have id.

MARK HENDERSON (SPOKESMAN FOR MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT): We're not [8]a storage bin, so after 60 day's, it's like, okay, [9]it's time to have an auction.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Every year about 10,000 bags go missing here in Miami.  And last year the airport made about $100,000 in [10]lost luggage auctions.

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): This is the Mecca of lost luggage, Linsey.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Billy LeRoy this is one of the stars of the Travel Channel show "Baggage Battles."  But this is no ordinary auction.

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): You see the key thing is you cannot open these bags.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(OC): So what's the art here?  How do you detect the hidden treasures?

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): Well I have my famous test and that's the smell test.  I smell it first.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Come auction day, [11]bidders pay 3 dollars to play in this standing room only game…

BIDDER (MIAMI) $5.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): …of finders keepers.

AUCTIONEER (MIAMI): Sold, $100.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Billy's used [12]his gut instinct to [13]come up big before, like these rare coins he found.

APPRAISER (MALE): This is worth at least a thousand pounds.

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): What?

APPRAISER (MALE): Yeah.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): The two grand he spent included this bag.

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): Momma.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Disappointment for Billy and for anyone who forgets [14]to fill out a luggage tag.

BILLY LEROY ("BAGGAGE BATTLES"): Look at that?  There's no name.  So whoever owned this bag, you should have marked your bag.

LINSEY DAVIS (ABC NEWS)(VO): Lindsay Davis, ABC News, Miami.
