The following compilation includes the top 10 strangest items, some luxury items, left behind at a not-so-luxurious hotel: the Travelodge. Some of these items are funny, while others are simply absurd—like the keys to a Ferrari 458 Italia. If one can afford a Ferrari, what are they doing in a roach motel? It is as insane as passing by a brand new Corvette parked outside of a trailer court! (You know you have seen this).

Fisker is putting people to work with their latest luxury hybrid cars, the Fisker Karma and ‘Project Nina’, a more affordable 2nd Fisker hybrid car.

Valmet’s Uusikaupunki (that is in Finland, btw) factory currently employs 850 people, so adding 200 is certainly nothing to scoff at!
