Passengers lose more jewellery at East Midlands Airport than anything else - but it's far from the strangest belongings frequently left behind. Clothing, glasses and bags were among some of the most commonly misplaced items last year. Also left behind were almost 200 Kindles, iPads and other tablets, and 167 mobile phones. They were among the 3,644 items of lost property which were left behind - and not later claimed - at the Castle Donington airport in the second half of last year alone.
