America’s Biggest Little City has a huge problem with lost luggage.

The Reno Tahoe Internatio­nal Airport totaled the most pieces of lost luggage per passenger of any airport in America, according to data collected between 2010 and 2014.

The TSA had to pay 13.6 lost luggage claims per 1 million passengers at Reno in that time frame, topping airports in Palm Springs, Calif. ( 12.3), Santa Barbara, Calif. ( 11.7), and Gulfport Biloxi, Miss. ( 11.7).

Here’s a classic way to keep loitering to a minimum.

The Fort Lauderdale Central Bus Terminal has started blasting Bach and Beethoven over its scratchy PA system.

Officials insist the practice is meant to create a “pleasurabl­e environmen­t,” while others believe the classics are being used to annoy young people and vagrants hanging around the Florida terminal.

The good guys won World War II, thanks to sunscreen and bacon.

British archeologi­sts recently unearthed dozens of cans of 1940sera US Armyissued sunblock, canned bacon, cooking oil and other household goods buried in Salisbury Plain in south central England.

The supplies were left by American soldiers who trained there before liberating Nazioccupi­ed Europe.

An injured sea turtle, found with a hook lodged in the back of its mouth, was treated and released near Tampa, Fla., with a clean bill of health Monday.

The endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle was named L. T. Hook by its caretakers at the Florida Aquarium.

A pickup truck plowed through the doors of the Hotcakes Emporium Pancake House & Restaurant in another setback for the troubled Indianapol­is diner. Luckily, no one was hurt.

The diner has had a run of bad luck, with an April fire causing $ 125,000 in damage.
