DVD players
It is too sad the world we live in nowadays - must say it saddens me to think how much of a nice trusting person I was before I started this job!!
Seen and heard too many things now to go back to that - but I do like to still try and give the benefit of the doubt - after 9 years it seems to get harder every year!
One pax even tried to take on of our DVD players off with him after one of the crew offered him it as a recovery item as the IFE was down - his reaction to this kind offer was to place it in his bag when he had finished watching it! Only because our paperwork system works were we able to show him it had not been collected in - he got all embarrassed and said he would look for it the crew member stood her ground (politely) and yes he found it - in his rucksack!
I had my mobile stolen from my hotel room just last week by the cleaners/hotel staff I presume - called new york and emailed but no reply! A friend of mine even had his trainers taken from his hotel room - so how can you keep everything locked away?
Lets just pity those who steal from us - I personally find Kharma usually has a way to evening things out in the end!!
