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.

Commenting without reading the article, or even the excerpt, is a long tradition going back to the earliest days of FreeRepublic. Probably second only to clicking [I have already previewed...] without actually proof reading.
Haitian trash. His mother assaulted a reporter who went to the house and stole his ID.
Ah that’s the spirit!
I’d like to add an addendum, in addition to your sentences.
First offense: add 15 minutes restrained, in a room with the victim.
Second offense: 30 minutes restrained, in a room with the victim with a baseball bat
Third offense:Choice of burial or cremation.
Yes, but she had traveled with that same small bag before and never had to check it. This time Spirit required her to check it and the thieving black employee stole it. You can be sure he’s done this dozens of times before. Unless it’s sent to the wrong airport, missing luggage and personal belongings are usually stolen by airline employees or TSA agents.
That’s the stuff of nightmares right there.
If it’s Boeing, I’m not going.
If it’s Spirit, I will fear it.

(Best I can do.)
Exactly. It’s no different than wearing cutoff jeans, or a tank top. That bitch was asking to be raped!

Correct, Farmerbob. We must respect tradition! And for newbies, here’s the whole picture:
- Here less than 1 year: You really shouldn’t comment. You’re a newbie.
- Here 1 to 5 years: Please read the entire article before commenting.
- Here 5 to 10 years: Read the excerpt before commenting. Don’t worry about the rest of the article.
- Here 10+ years: Just take a quick glance at the headline. Then say whatever comes to mind. Your comments don’t even have to apply to the article.
He seems surprised about something.
No, actually...need mind bleach.🥴🤢🤮
Tacos can be delicious.
was told to check it
Are they expensive, hard to use, effective, easy for the perp to locate? Battery lasts a long time?
Talk to me like I’m 5 …LOL
Yeah, if they have a regular Sherlock Holmes investigatin’, he’ll recommend interrogating the “agent” that made her do that. Sounds like a tidy little operation they got goin’ there.
