There you go! When is the apology coming for calling people liars?
So, if it was with her the whole time, when was the watch taken?
Did she file a report at her destination airport as well? They have baggage handlers there too.
Why put a $5000 watch in baggage..... if that's where it was taken from?
Has she made an insurance claim?
el ... you're right. An occupation gets tarnished by it's lowest denominator... all rock stars are junkies etc
Airport theft is actively fought and prevented by ALL airlines and Airport Authorities. There was a big case a few years ago where security staff were imprisoned for theft. These were contracted staff working for the airport screening bags (great clear images of the contents) and in a position of such trust they were not monitored. Who got the blame? BA loaders because they were BA passengers' bags that were being screened. The theft was happening before a BA hand touched the bag. So, when generalising, be careful not to point the finger at the airline employee all the time. The handler does not know what the bag contains and doesn't have time or opportunity to go rifling baggage on the off chance.
