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.

At least your sense of humour is still intact! When that goes, I’ll really start to worry.
Tell yer mum I said “hi” I haven’t been to Facebook much so I don’t see her often. I’ve found “Reels” and recently, they’ve had some young British lads who are guinea pigs for American fast food. Your scones look like our biscuits, but the real test was when they put Southern sausage white gravy on, then added some crispy fried chicken. I had to watch every one of those clips several times and laughed like the dickens! Then they tried Souther sweet tea — on ice! “Who puts ice in tea?”
They weren’t impressed with Taco Bell’s fare but they really liked Wendy’s!
I’m sorry about your country going sideways. That’s pretty sad, actually.
Good job, guys!
Well, it sounds like things are going swimmingly. Keep your chin up!
Spasibo, tovarich
:D
“Who puts ice in tea”
A very good question.
Wendy’s...could be the local franchise, but not the best.
After you see the painted mural on the wall, you cant go in there again. Looks like an abduction scene.
Will tell the Boss you said ‘Hi’. She does ask about you from time to time.
“country going sideways” (Churchill voice) We’ve been through worse. Things are brewing ,so stay tuned. But don’t hold your breath...could be bit of a wait. There is a cup of tea to be had first.
Absolutely spiffing ,what(?) :D
More tea?
Tell your mother I said thanks for asking! That is kind of her.
What kind of sweet things are on those scones? They look delicious!
:-D
w00t!
I certainly hope all of that Mess doesn’t follow the sun from there to here.
Hang in there, Moose. The pendulum might swing back without requiring a complete disaster.
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve!
B-I-L got in safely last night and I got to bed just after midnight. The Palliative Care doctor is visiting tomorrow and B-I-L wanted to be in town to talk with him.
With such a late bedtime I’m with kitteh.
I’m back to my par on Wordle today with a very interesting staircase pattern.
