      I have friends who work for all major airlines and they will prevent him from traveling. They frequently check reservations and if they ever see the scumbag with an upcoming trip, they will write down the confirmation #, flight date / time etc, then the morning of the flight, that employee will ACCIDENTALLY cancel the trip. But they will do it from a personal device with a VPN and not their work computer so it will be untraceable. And in case you're wondering why the employee will wait until the morning of the trip, it's because if it's that close to the departure, the ticket cannot be refunded and in some cases the airline won't even issue a travel credit.

The bag was never located, but 40 years later one of the scores turned up in a music store in Minneapolis. It was being sold as a used copy. My name was on it, and the clerk knew who I was. She kindly contacted me (in San Francisco) and mailed it back!!! An amazing twist to a sad story. How it got to that store is the mysterious part.

    I do remember as a kid there was someone at the exit checking it was your luggage that matched your claim ticket. Now airlines don't care as they don't want to pay for added employees. If I'm coming back on a domestic flight and I checked in a piece of luggage, no matter what airport, I don't hang around the terminal after getting off the airplane. It's directly to the baggage claim. With international flights, it's not an issue, as you pick up your luggage before leaving the international arrivals area. People from off the streets can't just walk in there. San Diego is small potatoes with this problem. Check LAX. I don't know how many baggage claims there are, but it's a lot. A thief can get lost in the crowd, and pick a different terminal every time he returns. Once he picks up someone else's luggage, just strut out the door and hop on the first shuttle bus to anywhere to make a quick getaway.

    That is the whole purpose of the baggage claim ticket you get. This is so silly and easy to prevent. As far as I can remember, probably the '70's, in the San Juan, PR international airport, firstly, no one can enter the baggage claim area from the street. Secondly, they have 2 security guards posted on the only exit and they check your baggage claim ticket against the luggage you are carrying before you can leave. I am amazed I have never seen this in any other US airport. Maybe it is time to get this procedure implemented everywhere.

    Twice I saw bags almost go the theft route. Fortunately at the time (here in L.A.) they still had the checking of the bags against your baggage claim ticket so the thief was caught immediately. The second time I saw it happen those witnessing the incident weren't sure if it was theft or truly was an accident. The guy grabbed a bag, got partway to the door, seemed a little confused just as another passenger said "Hey, I think you have my bag." Whereupon the first person said "I thought it didn't seem right." So we never knew if it was a ploy or not.
    And now for my travel tip. Don't travel with solid color suitcases. Especially high end ones. I once watched a show where a thief was interviewed and he mentioned that they rarely look into stealing patterned bags because it's easier for the owners to notice them walking on by with the luggage.

      @AMERICANPATRIOT1945 7 месяцев назад

      @@mrparts ,
      Please see the comment below by cabojacks5106. I should have added that exact statement after my original sentence. And yes, decades ago, there were attendants at the airport exits who matched your luggage tags with your luggage receipts which were matched to your tickets and boarding passes. Also, only actual passengers from that one corresponding flight were allowed in the luggage claim area. There was a full chain of custody to prevent exactly this sort of pilfering and it worked, without creating any sort of delays or inconvenience. Unless of course you consider it a delay and an inconvenience to stop at the exit and wait for ten seconds while an attendant checks to make certain that you are taking only what is yours to take, with no line or delay incurred beyond the ten seconds.
      Also, next time you think about accusing someone of having a dumb talking point, pause and consider that the person may know something or have experienced something that you have not. I did not pull my original comment out of thin air. I am actually old enough to have experienced such baggage checks by airport security before I was allowed to leave with my luggage. Believe me when I say this, it was no inconvenience even for business and first class passengers because we all understood how easy it was to get one's luggage confused with another passenger's luggage, and what problems that would cause. We didn't even think about this sort of theft because it was nearly impossible for someone outside of the baggage employees to do it even once before being caught. Employees didn't want to risk their jobs over a few thousand dollars worth of other peoples' stuff before being caught, so employee luggage theft was not a concern either.
      These sorts of problems we face today on flights are mostly the result of deregulation. It is nice to have cheap flights, but not with the crazy behavior, overpacked seating, and poor service we have become accustomed to.
