What are the odds of this occurring, given the manufacturer had made heaps against two people using the same distinctive if not odd bag on the same flight and the bags were on the carousel sequentially?. Monty needs to label his bag more clearly, or get a better bag.
The tags on the suitcases reminded me that when I lived in Iowa City and attended the U of I; a local store sold a popular shirt that read, “University of Iowa, Idaho City, Ohio”. It was targeted for students from either coast who wanted to mess with their geographically challenged (or dyslexic) friends.
To paraphrase Ben Stiller in Meet the Parents “ Monty, did it occur to you that the manufacturer of this suitcase, in a crazy attempt to make a profit, maybe made more than one of these…..”
This happened to me once – (except I would never use something so wild looking). I was fortunate that the guy who got my bag read the tag and called me before I threw his bag into my rental car… :-P
My mum used to have some odd brightly colored beanie baby key chain attached to her luggage. At the end of what turned out to be her last flight she gave it to a toddler at the airport that thought it was funny.
It’s a pretty good strategy to have a distinctive or ugly bag at the airport so you can recognize it from a distance, but in this day and age there is no such thing as a totally unique item unless you go through the effort to make it yourself.

If there is made one, good chance it’s made by the thousands.

I wonder how similar the contents of the bags were.

There’s a reason why people tie colorful ribbons to the handle of their luggage. But with Monty’s luck it would have been the same ribbon.

Gotta read the sticker… Iowa not Ohio

That’s why you must always read the tag. Either one you put on it, or the one the airline attached to it.
Although I’ve never seen a bag identical to mine, I’ve seen many that were very close.

I used to work in Ohio, and I’ve been in Iowa.
Either way, that is one ugly suitcase! Or, rather, two ugly suitcases!
Monty, you careless, foul-mouthed boor! Shame on you! May Garfield eat all your lasagna!
