Airport pram raiders: Stealing pushers at LGW

[Hvr]

• Airport bought 150 buggies for parents to use but only three now remain
• Pushchairs have no security tag or marking to show they belong to airport
• Charity that backed scheme says it is disappointed by actions of parents

It was supposed to be a way of helping hard-pressed families with tired children cope as they stepped off their long holiday flight.
But the idea of providing a fleet of 150 complimentary pushchairs at the arrivals hall at Gatwick Airport has backfired – after the majority of them were stolen by passengers.
Instead of leaving the buggies at the designated drop-off point in the baggage reclaim area when their own pushchair arrives on the carousel, some holidaymakers have brazenly walked off with them before loading them into their car or boarding the Gatwick Express rail service with their newly acquired booty.

I guess no good deed goes unpunished and that every demographic will steal if it suits them.

If it's the same stroller in the photo then I'm not at all surprised. They should have picked out ugly industrial looking ones, like the ones at changi. Can't fold those up into the car.

Some people would feel the strollers were free. Or at least entitled to a free stroller.

That's a pram that retails for ~$90 with no sort of security. Not that surprised really.
