I landed at the airport after my vacation. I had a black rolling bag that looked like everyone else’s on the baggage carousel. I grabbed one and immediately realized it was not mine because it was a lot nicer, cleaner, newer, and better looking than mine. So I took that one instead. When I got to my car, I liked what was in it so I kept it. I still have some of the things that were in there and it's fun to wear them and remember. I do feel a tiny bit bad about it but not that much.
Wow. Once, at the luggage carousel in Costa Rica, a man took my dad's suitcase and INSISTED it was his. It was so hard, but we finally convinced him to open it up and of course, my dad's stuff was in it. We always just assumed he was the type of guy who was super embarrassed to be wrong, but maybe it was OP???
