Shakila Ahmed, a Travelodge spokeswoman, said:Â '˜With nearly 19 million customers annually staying at our 557 UK hotels for a variety of reasons, we do get a range of fascinating items left behind.
'˜Interestingly as we have more business customers staying with us than ever before, we have seen a rise in important business papers, valuable items and lucky charms being left behind in our hotels.
'˜This includes a chest of semi-precious jewels, a rare bottle of vintage champagne, a Coutts cheque book and a 21-year-old lucky penny belonging to a chief executive.
'˜When it comes to why so many customers forget their treasured items, there is one common theme, and that's living in a fast and furious world where time is of the essence.'
