A list of the most bizarre items left behind by guests at Travelodge hotels has been revealed, including a hamster named Fredrick and an 18-month-old baby.

The astounding list of lost-and-found items has been compiled by the budget hotel chain after amused staff gathered up the abandoned treasures.
Among the quirkier items left behind include a life-size Mr Blobby costume, a case full of 100 Duchess of Cambridge masks, and an urn containing the ashes of a guest’s late wife.
One careless visitor left a box contained £50,000 worth of watches and a newlywed bride nearly lost her Vera Wang wedding gown when her husband forgot to pack it.
Staff at Nuneaton Travelodge were even treated to a Christmas surprise when a couple left an entire Santa’s grotto is their room.
They appear to have held their own early celebrations, and left a whole Christmas tree with decorations, lights, a model reindeer, a Father Christmas outfit and a turkey dinner behind.
An 18-month-old boy was accidentally left behind in a Winchester Travelodge, after his busy parents each thought the other had placed him in his car seat.
They drove away to attend a wedding, before realising their toddler son was not in the back of their car moments later.
An energetic Roborovski hamster was also found in his cage in Knutsford, after his forgetful owner drove back to Bristol without him.
In Liverpool, female guests lived up to their reputation, leaving behind a case full of spray tan, hair extensions and false eye lashes.
The items are just some of the abandoned goods left by the 13 million people staying in the Travelodge’s 496 UK hotels.
The most common items left behind are phone or laptop chargers, closely followed by pyjamas, clothing and teddy bears; 75,000 of which have been reunited with their young owners in the last year alone.
Jon Hendry Pickup, operations director at Travelodge, said; “Each year our lost and found box gets filled with some remarkable items.
“We have had Ferrari keys, a four foot stuffed Macaw parrot, a rare Toby jug and a life size Santa’s grotto to name just a few.
“It just goes to show the amazing cross section of people stay in our hotels.”
