News and notes from around the interweb:
- Charlotte airport staffer stole $5,000 in jewelry from a passenger’s luggage and sold it on Facebook. Their defense? ‘I didn’t steal it, I found it’ (cough) but it still didn’t belong to them and they still sold it, it seems.
Court documents said a woman reported that multiple pieces of diamond-encrusted David Yurman jewelry were stolen from her suitcase during a layover April 11 at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The jewelry was valued at about $5,000, documents said…
In the days after the initial report, detectives said they found a social media account, “Alonys Garcia,” listing every piece of jewelry the woman reported stolen and selling it as a bundled item…Reyes-Garcia claimed he found the jewelry in the secure baggage area.

Reyes-Garcia claimed he found the jewelry in the secure baggage area.
“I found it at the airport. In the secure baggage area. In a suitcase. That was zipped up.”
Nice use of “(cough)“ Gary… *cough*
(Sigh) Why, oh why do people insist on checking high value items like jewelry in their checked bags?
A tad ironic that Reyes-Garcia used the airline modeled marketing strategy of “bundling” in his “entrepreneurial enterprise” … lol
