Last week i went to fiji on a family holiday.. between me and the mrs we had three large bags we checked in.
I had padlocked these bags shut. Combination lock. It was 100% padlocked. I even argued with the mrs about it, she said it wasnt necessary and insisted i would lock them... and did.
When i collected bags on the nadi end (fiji) one of the bags was missing the lock.it had been cut off. The bag also looked ransacked. Stuff was moved around but it didnt appear that anything was actually missing.. there wasnt anything too expensive in there.
I initially thought maybe another security check but i would think they would leave a note or card or sticker on bag to indicate it was an official security check as opposed to a thief?. but nothing..
I contacted fiji airways and notified them. They are investigating why the lock was broken off the bag but did say breaking locks was not normal practise. They are treating it as damaged luggage. But i did say nothing was missing or damaged, rather my bag was accessed? For what reason? Was it a legimiate check? A thief? Or a baggage handler transporting item(s) in other peoples luggage?
I told this story in fiji to another traveller and they said their lock was also broken off their bag, unsure if anything was missing.
I always thought in shappelles story, she was so guilty but after my experience?? I dunno..??
