Comment thread "Stolen items from luggage" for Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport

I flew from this airport to the Uk on 03/06/2010 and the padlocks were broken on my luggage, items stolen included my engagement ring, wedding ring, 2 pairs of gold earings, 1 pair of silver earings and perfum..... be very careful!!!!

You're an absolute idiot for putting those types of items in your checked baggage anyway, so you have no one to blame but yourself. Firstly - why would you even bring that type of jewellry with you in the first place ( do you really need to flash your baubles on the beach ) and secondly, if they're so precious to you - why aren't you WEARING your engagement/wedding rings??

I wouldn't even put expensive/sentimental items in my checked baggage if I was flying through Heathrow/Frankfurt/Dulles let alone a country like Cuba. If I had something precious and didn't want anything to happen to it, it wouldn't leave my side - so once again, it's your own stupid fault for leaving it in your checked baggage.
