Some weird and wonderful things were left behind in Travelodges across Kent last year.
Among the lost and found items were six bridesmaid dresses, love letters from 1974 and a Mercedes car.
A flower wall was one of the things staff found in the budget chain's Canterbury hotel, while a Rolex watch and a fur coat were forgotten in Tunbridge Wells.
Tickets to a Harry Potter musical in London and a child's electric Porsche 911 car were found in Ashford while Rochester's Cory's Road site had a Mercedes left behind as well as six bridesmaids' dresses on separate occasion.
The bride only realised her mistake after arriving at the venue, but luckily the hotel manager was on hand to drop them off.
Love was on the cards quite literally at Maidstone's Travelodge when staff found a number of missives in a birthday greeting from 1974, belonging to an elderly lady.
After realising they were missing, she rang the hotel and explained she had taken them everywhere with her and they were soon returned.
A pair of Jimmy Choo shoes were found in Chatham's Historic Dockyard site, while staff at Dartford's Charles Street location found a shoebox filled with expenses.
