Luggage theft cases rise on airport buses, 'everyone needs to be vigilant'

(FB)

Taking the airport bus is one of many tourist choices for people visiting HK and traveling between the airport and the city.

Recently, a traveler posted on Threads, claiming their luggage was allegedly stolen while taking the A21 bus to the city. The traveler said they placed their luggage on the second tier of the luggage rack and took a short nap, only to wake up and find their luggage missing.

The traveler described their lost luggage that it only contained clothes. After discovering the loss, they went to the police station the same day to report it and received a loss report. However, the police response indicated that such incidents have been quite frequent recently, and the chances of recovery are very low.

Some netizens suggested that the traveler could ask the police to check the bus's CCTV "to see who stole it," but the traveler mentioned that reviewing the footage would take ten days, which exceeded their stay in Hong Kong, leaving them with no choice but to give up.

After the post, netizens commented that similar incidents have occurred frequently, advising others to keep a close eye on their luggage and be wary of pickpockets.

"There have been many luggage theft cases on airport buses recently... everyone really needs to be vigilant."

Some netizens pointed out the difference between mistakenly taking luggage and stealing it, stating, "Hong Kong airport has the most cases of people mistakenly taking luggage, while the airport bus has the most cases of luggage theft. Even if the thieves don't know whether there are valuable items inside, prying open a suitcase with no value and leaving it on the side of the road means they have no loss."
