Wow. The guy had inside info for sure. And a well executed plan. Well played, robber man.

A airplane passenger stole $238,000 during a flight in the Caribbean by sneaking into the cargo hold that was loaded with cash through the bathroom.

The man ran down the stairs with a fire hose in his pajamas.

I guess it helps if you’re wearing a blazer.

You got it all wrong, he had eaten some bad jerked goat and the bathroom was out of toilet paper, he had to find a substitute paper..

He left nearly $1.4 million behind?

I guess he couldn’t stuff all of it down his pants.

I built aircraft interiors for 5 years, about 2 years in the lavs. A typical lav module has a 3/4” Aluminum honeycomb floor and 1/2” Alum HC walls. Theres a few small holes in the unit, NOTHING big enough to get more than your hand through.

This sounds like a cover story. Doubt if the cash ever made it aboard. 100% inside job.

You seem to know about this. Just what is your middle initial anyway?

It’s B. Parachuting out of the bathroom would have taken a lot more disassembly of the aircraft, I’m sure.

I’ve landed at that airport at St Martin, and they screen incoming bags with drug dogs and random inspections as you deplane.

Probably not looking for cash, though!
