Beware of thieves on airplanes! There are now gangs targetting passenger’s belongings onboard. This has become a grave issue.

Recently, a passenger captured footage of a suspected theft on a flight from Hong Kong to Incheon. Most of the time, the theft is carried out by a group of passengers in an organized chain during overnight flight when passengers fall asleep. Items targeted include expensive watches, diamonds, and of course cash.

In the video, I share how this ring of gangs operates. It is much more sophisticated than most would have thought. The extensive network involves multiple parties from luxury goods sales to airport staff and cleaners!

I also share my own experience of losing a wallet onboard, what airlines are going to do about the increasing level of crime, and how to prevent theft onboard?

Flying should be relaxing not stressing out. It is not a shame thing to be a victim. Please speak up when you see something strange onboard.
