Normally, I lock checked luggage but was in a hurry and forgot. Arrived to SIN/Changi and a bag containing both supplies AND prescribed medication were taken from my luggage. They also helped themselves to a pair of sandals and sunglasses for their trouble. Filed a case with airlines and airport and friends recommending I file a police report as well.
Travel frequently and in the last 3 years of flights into SIN and the last 2 trips/years, have had items taken from my checked baggage without any notification.
Yesterday, I arrived to Changi and when I unpacked noticed several items missing including Dr prescribed medication, my favorite sandals, and expensive sunglasses. I know SG can be strict about things brought in by visitors so would understand if medication was removed by security with a note, but why steal sandals and sunglasses as an extra “fu” to tourists?
I started locking luggage after the theft traveling to SG last year - guess who forgot to lock luggage on this trip?
After 3.5 months, my glasses (Wayfarer, black, transitions) suddenly stopped holding a charge without any user-error (I treat my devices like children, I know it’s a mental illness). After submitting a warranty claim, Ray Ban/have “offered” 2 cheaper versions with the first being a completely different model/style/fit (Headliner) and the other the Wayfarer, tan, without transitions.
