Here are the weirdest things lost (and found) in Dublin Airport

Someone left a giant boulder.

The worst thing we’ve ever lost in Dublin Airport is too much time roaming around duty-free.

We’re sure that the most items lost are phones, tablets, and laptops – those are pretty standard – but what about those weird items people leave behind that make you question where this person was flying to, and what exactly they were planning?

Well, the lads themselves have only gone and revealed what the strangest lost and found items are.

The one that sticks out to us the most is an actual headstone with the words “you will never be forgotten” inscribed on it.

Nice.

An abandoned toilet and cistern were also found left near the airport departure gate.

There was also an abundance of wheelchairs and crutches, a very large boulder, and a set of “cast iron dungeon keys” left behind at the airport.

Speaking on 98fm, DAA spokesperson Audrey O’Hagan said that inanimate objects aren’t the only things people try to bring on flights.

“Just two weeks ago, somebody tried to bring a goldfish. They had a goldfish in a two-litre bottle of water.

Believe it or not, that fish has since been re-homed by a staff member here and it’s in their fish pond in Malahide.”

We can understand maybe leaving your crutches behind if you weren’t too bothered about losing them, but abandoning a goldfish is surely a bit harder to cope with.
