baa99 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-35324034 South African Airways (SAA) has blacklisted a passenger amid reports that gangs of thieves are operating 30,000 feet in the air on its flights. Passenger Warren Becker told local media that jewellery and $1,800 (£1,300) in cash was stolen from his bag while he slept on a flight from Johannesburg to Hong Kong last month. SAA says there is a suspicion that a crime syndicate is targeting the route. Three such thefts occurred over as many weeks in December, a spokesman added. In 2014, there were thefts of $2.6m on flights to Honk Kong, according to official police figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Biggest thieves in the USA are the TSA bunch! They have stolen and broken more items in my checked luggage and when I file a complaint, it is always..."...we are not responsible..." Bullshit...you go in my luggage, without just cause, you steal and break items...you are fucking responsible!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not responsible...... that is why I put a bottled of fermented fish sauce on top of my items in each suitcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfs Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not responsible...... that is why I put a bottled of fermented fish sauce on top of my items in each suitcase. What's the purpose of that? If it breaks then your stuff will smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
