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.

Even a kitteh pawing our noses doesn’t wake this thread up.

Good morning. Happy Humph Day!
Tomorrow we start sending the notifications of who made it on our 200,000 person Section 8 Waitlist and who did not. Lots of owrk to do today.
The Princess is off getting her blood drawn so we can see if her liver managed to process everything without the drugs.
I was surprised that this Wordle guess turned out right.
Wordle 1,138 3/6*
⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩
⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
Not until it has cleaned it’s room. :)
I try to participate more, but for some reason, I’m awfully tired these days.
Sleepless nights brought on by blood pressure medication because of A-Fib in the high altitude. I think that about covers it....
;o]
Thanks for the silly kitteh ping!
The UT is more dead these days!
I never wanted Section 8, partly because of the wait list and the slum lords. I don’t think that latter is a problem that will ever be really fixed, no matter how they try to address it. Good luck with your efforts at owrk today.
Please keep us informed of the beautiful Princess Dog. I’m always interested in her progress.
Good job on the Wordle.
(Actually, I was up in time to post a kitty pic but I got involved in reading the online edition of the Salt Lake newspaper, and found lots of articles that were extremely fascinating, instead of one or two, as is usual. Such as, Salt Lake City will host the Winter Olympics again in 2032, for one.)
It seems only France enjoyed the Opening Ceremony....
Anyway, I’ll try to make more of a showing the rest of the week. I think I’ve gotten lazy. Sorry about that.
We’ve got California’s second least desirable import, smoke.
About 3 miles visibility and I can feel it in my throat.
That one made me laugh, quite literally, out loud...
... and thank you. I really needed that right now. Work beast is being, well, a beast.
*snark*
Yeah, FD and Real Brother are dealing with that in Colorado, but theirs is First-Hand smoke, not an import.
I don’t envy any of you.
Hi, everyone. Thanks for trying to start the fun today. I couldn’t even check in much due to the issues with uploading the list to our email system. We had to expand our contact count which meant spending money and they didn’t get that taken care of until last night, so ... naturally I’m struggling to resolve all of this today. And where were all the helpful people today?
I don’t know.
Anyway, on to the 2nd list. We have to do this over time because we don’t normally send several hundred thousand in one day and if we suddenly spike all the recipients’ mail servers will think we’re spamming the interwebs. Live and learn.
I think that’s a reasonable list - or unreasonable depending on what point you’re trying to make.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
MSM: The chicken was never assigned responsibility for crossing the road. That question is racist. Chickens are weird. Donald Trump has done a worse job of crossing the road than any President in history.
Only government can build the roads that the chicken was crossing...
In other news, got today’s Wordle in 3... Which, is weird... But not as weird as VD Vance...
Fnord.
Getting closer to that on Friday. Heading out for Sturgis...
Depends on if a tornado wipes me out here tonight or not. Got a nasty looking knot of storms heading our way...
I’ve had to set those mail filters for clients. And yes, spam triggers are a thing...
