"A vlogger spent $12,643 on a truck filled with lost packages after she won a bidding contest for the items in hopes of making her money back and found some treasure, including a Dior purse, Dyson vacuum and diamond jewelry. Hope Aleen (pictured), 28, from Utah, regularly posts videos of herself buying lost mail packages, lost luggage and even buying returns from department stores..."
