It's dangerous out there. Take this!

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.

A sunny 100° today! No rain in sight, but the monsoons will be here around my anniversary (August 5) or 30 days before and after. But I’m good, for now. At times, I just go stand in the heat.
They were not dead, and I only needed to threaten to sing.
LOL!
I’m sorting pills under the newly installed kitchen light! What a bonus! Too bad I had to wait so long.
Nate, the fireman/handyman had to crawl under one of the quad buildings yesterday to fix a water leak. There is only one way to enter and that’s on one end of the building. The leak was on the far end, so he wasn’t having too much fun down there. His fear was snakes. Mine would have been the confined space.
As a fireman, he works “48s” so he’s only available every two days. He made me laugh yesterday. “I like your veins!”
Sounds wonderful!

Hiya, Moosie!!
How’s things in Old Blighty?
It sounded like he might have been FReeping from under water.
Hello! Happy Solstice! Watch out for murders!
Happy solstice to you all.
Freeping from underwater has its advantages.
We have elections next month. Deciding between clowns is difficult.
If you don’t elect TheDonald (tm) , can we have him. Lend lease kind of arrangement.
Summer has arrived. Between rain showers.
It's dangerous out there. Take this!
Good morning. Happy Friday!
It’s dangerous out there, and it’s hot. I don’t know about the other side of the pond, but summer here is foreguessed to hit 95 fs before the day is done. And this is one of the cooler parts of the heat wave. The Princess is asking to be shaved.
Yesterday was a very quiet day. It may take a long time to get anywhere from here (grocery store, restaurant, gas station), but I can’t complain about the quiet of the wildlands. But we’ll leave tomorrow. B-I-L can’t stay forever.
Back to rather ordinary Wordling. Hmmm... Wordling almost sounds like an obscure fishing method, like the one where people try to catch catfish with their hands.

As dangerous as it is, we need one for each hand!
Good morning. I hope you had a good night!
I finally made it. I don’t know why I was so tired last night, but if it hadn’t been for FS sending me a text saying Donald Sutherland had passed away, I’d probably still be sleeping. Sad news, that. He was a fine actor.
FS and PW are still on the road. They were in Birmingham, AL, yesterday, and I’m sure he’ll keep me posted as to his stops, as usual. I’ll have to wait until he calls before I find out any more about his trip.
I asked him for magnets, but he thought it was ridiculous that I wanted a magnet for a place I’d never been. He may get them, but he may not.
Nothing planned today, I don’t think. I’ll get up from here in a bit and take a shower. Maybe I’ll get some card written. I have to buy some new ones because I’m very low on notecards!
We’d miss The Donald, but I think your need is almost as severe as ours!
It’s good to be back in the high desert!
I’ll miss “The Donald”, especially as Hawkeye. But I don’t think I’d call it a sever need.
Funny boy!
But thanks! I needed that!
I would have liked him in that if I had seen the original B&W first!
Sally got me a stingray magnet from the Tennessee Aquarium. Also an octopus sticker. Just get your mom a tchotchke already!
Good for Sally!
Yeah, that’s what I told him. “I can’t go there so the next best thing is to have someone who IS going there get me a magnet!!”
Silly boy!
I mailed a card today.
