Travellers beware.A few days ago a relation of mine had his hand luggage stolen from Alicante Airport whilst him and his wife were waiting for their cases to come off the carousel.They lost their mobile phone,spending money and all their medication.Luckily their passports were on them.Obviousley it has spoiled their holiday,you cannot take any chance's, can you?

I can only say 237SJ that it was always complained about as long back as I remember by those in the industry. I think the reports now show nothing much has changed.

Andy, if they come out of jail they won`t pass the CRC so they won`t be able to get an airside pass and work as a baggage handler.

Just remembered an incident - my friend and her daughter were flying on a very small plane into the Galapagos islands. She put her large camera bag into the overhead luggage locker when she got on, and when she got up to take it out - it was not there. No one had any idea of where it had gone, so perhaps it had been taken off by someone and handed over before they left the ground. Travellers beware!

never mind about airports yesterday I had my trolley pinched in Asda ! I put in the pound and got a small trolley , I left it for one minute to look at the reduced items and turned round and it was gone ! Asda got me another trolley but wouldnt give me my pound back !

I left a small bag on Eurostar once; when I went back to get it, it had vanished. The official explanation was that thieves travel on the train on the lookout for careless travellers like me. I don't believe it: it's an expensive journey and they'd be lucky to get anything out of it. Ten to one it was staff.

When flying back from the Dom Rep last year into Manchester one of my suitcases had been opened as only the zips were fastened but the other fastenings werent. There wasnt anything missing though so I presumed they were randomly looking for drugs. However my sister noticed the same and her camera was missing from hers. I did tell her she was stupid to put her camera in the case lol.
