""Airport theft is more common than people realize, but it's rarely reported or talked about," shares Dannah Eve, safety expert and author of the book Street Smarts."
"Even if you realize that something is missing, like a stolen bag, airports don't record them as stolen but rather 'mishandled luggage,' explains Lloyd Figgins."
"Your luggage tag should never include personal information like your name and address. This could be used by criminals to target your residence while you are away from home," explains Figgins."
"A simple indicator can make your bag easily recognizable without needing to buy brightly-colored luggage."
Airport theft occurs more frequently than many travelers realize, often going unnoticed and unreported. Items such as phones and wallets can be stolen in seconds. Airports categorize stolen items as 'mishandled luggage,' complicating recovery efforts. Safety experts recommend using smart luggage tags instead of personal information on tags and making bags easily recognizable to prevent theft. Essential travel safety tips include using neck wallets and luggage locks to enhance security in busy airport environments.
