A Spirit Airlines passenger managed to track down her stolen luggage after it vanished when she arrived at a Florida airport — using one of the stolen items to aid in her desperate search.
Paola Garcia had been waiting for her small pink hardshell luggage, containing several Apple products like her personal MacBook and two Apple Watches, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport’s carousel after returning home to the Sunshine State, Local 10 reported.
The exact timing of the incident remains unclear, but Garcia’s desperation to find her stolen property led her to the apparent culprit’s house even before local cops.
Garcia told the outlet she always carried on her luggage without issue, but this time, Spirit Airlines employees made her check the bag before she departed from New York.
She panicked as she watched others grab their bags from the carousel, and her luggage didn’t appear.
“In my mind, I’m thinking I need my computer because I go to the university, I need my computer no matter what,” Garcia told the outlet.
Garcia said she waited “at least two hours” before giving up hope that her luggage would arrive on the conveyor belt.
Spirit Airlines employees told Garcia not to worry and that her luggage would be sent to her house, she told the outlet.
The next day, she began receiving a ping from one of her Apple Watches — except it wasn’t coming from the airport but 15 minutes away at a Fort Lauderdale home.
It was the home of Junior Bazile, who worked in the retail store Paradies Shops at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Local 10.
Determined to get her belongings back, she went to the home, found her suitcase and her things, and immediately called 911.

Has it been that long since you went the last time???
Wow.
I hope everything is safe and secure for your trip by the time you’re ready to leave.
Please, keep us posted!
w00t!
Good morning from Asheville, which has 🐻 bears. I’ll be home by 6:00 p.m. after several days of tree excitement and very little interwebs.
It's been quiet here!
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
Learning about emails campaigns. I’m glad that’s not my line of business. Ugh!
We’re having our walkway from the front door repaired today. I’m not sure what was wrong with it.
We had lots of wet yesterday. It came in storm cells that were quickly gone. Mrs. ArGee and the Princess got caught in one and raced back home. 15 minutes later they were out again in bright sunshine. That’s normal for Florida, but not here.
Another trey on the Wordle.

Good Morning!
We are enjoying our high pressure dome shielding us from more rainstorms of late... it has finally kicked in for us... even a hint of lower humidity to come soon...
Been bouncing around on Wordle between 3s and 4s, even an odd 5 thrown in from time to time... and then a day like today when I get a nice green pyramid as a bonus...

Will do... And yes, I’m sorry I don’t have as much time to post here...
Thanks... It used to be a regular thing... :-)
Took me 5 today... Such is life. :-)
I still do better being lucky than trying to be smart.
I remember.....
We often get those silly showers during the monsoons, not so much any other time, though.
Good job on the Wordle!
I’m glad your weather agrees with you for once!
Good job on your Wordle!
Less smoke today, I can see a faint outline of Peavine.
I’m glad to hear that. FD tossed all her masks when they were no longer mandatory, and she has been whining ever since about the smoke. I bet my friend Nully didn’t do that!! ;o])
She also said the smoke wasn’t as bad today. Good because I would hate to lose either of you!
What masks?
Exactly. I avoided them. I couldn’t breathe when I wore them so I considered them a health risk. ;o]
Indeed it is!
