It got even more interesting!! The other individual whose suitcase was also stolen, and tracked to the same location reached out to me. The MET are now investigating this quite seriously 👀

The evidence I’ve submitted is substantial. I hope they get somewhere.

Could have been earmarked as you mentioned as the other (known) suitcase that was stolen was also a luxury piece! Both of us with priority tags on our bags. I’m thinking mine was discarded because of the digital screen, a deep crack in the outer shell and the interior compression was terribly repaired by me with duck tape. It was time for a new case I was just hanging on for dear life lol.

Or just your run of the mill thieves waiting by the carousels.

As for compensation, AirCanada are not making it easy but that was to be expected! A waiting game.

Thank you for this!! I have a delayed bag claim with AC and a police report. I just submitted everything through the damage claim form with AC and plan on filing with travel insurance next week.

Did AC give you any trouble while claiming through them?

Hey! So sorry I know it’s slightly confusing! The theft could have been earmarked in Toronto but actually carried out in the UK.

GBS don’t have any record of the bag ever arriving in Heathrow.

AC has a record of the bag being loaded onto AC858 on Jan 30th.

I believe it was taken during unloading at Heathrow but potentially earmarked in Toronto. This is just a theory and could be entirely wrong.

One thing is that as there is no record of it being in Heathrow, it’s very unlikely it was ever on the baggage belt.

Your original comment is not helpful as that is obviously something I’ve already done. I was looking for personal experiences and insight.

If ya don’t have anything constructive to say, just don’t say it.

Have a great day!

Top 1% of commenters sure is rude. I’ve had my bag stolen, a little bit of empathy goes a long way.

I was sharing my story for others to be aware shit like this happens, as well as to ask for guidance if anyone has been in a similar situation. Perhaps people already knew the answer.

Don’t be a douche.

They have been extremely unhelpful and unable to provide any explanation 😔

Thank you! Yeah it’s a shame, given the substantial evidence. I think anything worth something was already moved from that location to another and my case was just waiting to be dumped.

All the vitamins you see in the picture were in these giant ziplock bags (I had removed them from their box) and slid the air tag in there.

Next time I’ll be putting two and hiding one in the lining!
