When you got to your destination and picked up your bag from baggage claim and went to walk outside the airport there were airline employees standing at the exit checking to make sure your stub matched the one on your baggage. If it matched you were allowed to leave the airport with your bag. Those "luggage guards" as my mother called them were a permanent fixture at airports. What the hell happened to them?

I remember a time when you could not leave baggage claim with baggage if you didn't have the matching stubs. They actually checked everyone. Not sure how it went if you lost your stubs, as I kept them secure. I assume that you had to somehow prove that the luggage was actually yours once nobody else showed up to collect it with the stubs after a certain period of time. That was also a time when you had to be dressed appropriately to fly, before flying somehow turned into a virtual Greyhound bus ride in the sky.

They should put baggage claim where only passengers have access to it and not the public.

You can be that creep will steal someone else's luggage when given the chance. Kudos to that fellow for being vigilant and putting a tracking device on his luggage. So sad to think it has come to that now.

There used to be a security check point with physical barriers at the baggage claim and you would have to present your ticket and they would match it to the tags on the baggage. I don't fly anymore if I can get there by automobile.

I know it isn't always possible, but I usually get to baggage claim before the bags start rolling out so the instant I see mine I grab it.

If someone did that to me and I tracked and found him, I would have punched him in the face.

Add to the insult of finding a thief wearing your clothes stolen from a luggage carousel, he had to pay extra money to check his bag.

I remember (back in the day) having to produce a baggage claim ticket in order to exit the baggage claim area (carousel). Why did airports stop doing this? Apparently airports and associated security agencies are EXTREMELY concerned with our bags before and during our trip... but not so much after. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say airports stopped securing carousels because... they don't have to. I not a frequent flyer, I usually travel by air three times a year (holidays and vacations) but I imagine this is a bigger problem than just this incident. Thankfully I have never had any items stole.Lost, delayed and damaged, YES... stolen NO... but I am going to be installing a tracker on my luggage for my next trip. That should be a suggestion on Trip Advisor

I was at Charlotte airport last week. When I went to luggage claim to get my backpack I noticed their was no security and baggage claims was right by the exit. Anybody could just grab a bag and walk out.

The air tags is a good idea. But also put mini key padlocks on your luggages so they don't get opened by whoever is handling them. Some travelers even wrap tape around their luggages so it'll be easy to tell if the seal has been broken and the luggage has been opened by someone.

This catch is too good to be true! I can only imagine how both of them felt at the exact moment they knew who each other were. This video is straight gold!!

I don't care if it's a monthlong trip. Everything is carry on.

I flew every weeks on business years ago and most airports then (20 yrs. ago) had security at all doors matching your luggage tag with the other half stapled to your flight envelope. I guess that disappeared due to cost but not that alone. They want to complicate air travel so demand will diminish.

Yep, most airports nowadays don't do baggage claims security check anymore. 😢

@@issaahmed8504 They have big plans to contain freedom of travel that's why they are pushing EV, raising gas prices while giving notification that combustion powered cars will no longer be produced within 10 yrs. (or sooner); they have plans constricting movement for total control.

Smart to put an air tag on the luggage

Well in the 90s only 14 million people traveled in a year and only 1-3 times a year, so they would check baggage, but now in 2022 there is over 190 million people and a lot of people do it over 10 times that travel in a year. It's almost impossible to have that kind of manpower these days.

Was in the airport last week. This really bothers me that anybody can just walk in from the street and take luggage. It took 1 hour to get through customs and my luggage was stuck there all that time. Surprisingly in 3rd world country Mexico, baggage was in a flier only area and they checked tickets before handing it over, way better solution

In America its a public place and anyone can be in a public place. If you have a problem with that you have a problem with freedom. How about you concern yourself more with what caused tis mans misfortune and not why hes where he is physically?

That's my biggest anxiety about flying/traveling is having airport employees or thieves stealing my luggage and I lose everything, because it happens every day so its just a matter of time!... 🤯

The look on his face when he said I have a tracking device in here 😂. I could just see the “f**k”

This happens all the time in many airports around the world. Seems like an inside job in the airport. Otherwise, with all those officers that stop you as you exit and customs, how would someone exit with a luggage that's not theirs. Kudos for the tracking devices. The guy has probably been doing it for a while. He's not alone.

you don't touch a black man's luggage boy, I wonder how many weeks probation that thief's going to get.

His clothes fit pretty well!

He needed a place to stay so he stole luggage to make it appear he belonged at the airport. Hopefully he gets back on his feet.

The problem is in the person, who goes beyond the principles and values ​​of honesty. To do what is wrong based on their need, but for that there are options.

You just find someone wearing your clothes, sleeping on the floor 😂😂😂

Smart guy for having a tracking device. These airports need to step it up.

Wow that’s sad!!!
