PHOENIX -- Phoenix police say their top priority is finding the owners of hundreds of pieces of stolen luggage.

Police said the luggage thefts at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport have been going on for years.

Phoenix police said during a Thursday morning news conference that a house west of Phoenix contained 14 rooms and had stolen luggage and clothing piled from floor to ceiling.

Some of the items found so far include medicines, passports, stereo and video equipment, video games, laptop computers and even adoption paperwork.

Police are trying to contact the victims of the theft. So far, only a handful have been found.

Police arrested Keith Wilson King, 61, and Stacy Lynne Legg-King, 38, Monday.

Each was booked into jail on charges of theft of property and possession of stolen property.

Thought they had security for luggage checkout. How can this actually happen. Adoption papers were found how sad! These people need to be put away for a long time. Hope they find the owners of this property.
