Inflight theft

[Captain Halliday]

What if the valuables weight 10kg?

Leave the gold bar at home @Quickstatus

I think so! (Touch wood!!)

At least domestically, everyone arrives at the carousel well before the first bag comes out. Most people are keeping a beedy eye out hoping their bag is one of the first!

I’m guessing it would be a pretty big game of chance, too, to take a random bag. It could be filled with nothing valuable.

With the carousel, I am always amazed at the number of times a single bag is doing the rounds and never being collected by anyone, would be very easy for a thief to take

True! But perhaps an indicator of nothing important in the bag? Otherwise it wouldn’t have been forgotten!

Gold? Never let the valuables out if sight.

Surely you've seen that single shoe/thong left around..they aren't important either, but surely you'd notice one foot being hard against the floor versus the other..my point is, importance ≠ remebering

Agree! But if i had a gold bar in my luggage, i’m pretty sure i’m not going to walk out of the airport without it!

Yes the contents are important, but am i likely to forget i’ve checked in a bag if it contains valuables?

If i’m a thief looking for a bag to take, I’d probably skip the one circling around
