HOLIDAY TRAVELER USES AIRTAG TO TRACK HER LUGGAGE. IT GETS TAKEN TO A GARAGE FULL OF STOLEN SUITCASES

Kat James (@shinebykatjames) said that she and her kids landed in Los Angeles’ airport, LAX, after a trip. James said that she and her children didn’t “dawdle” and arrived at the luggage carousel shortly after their plane landed.

“So we’re waiting, the bags are going ’round and ’round… but my suitcase is not coming,” James said. James was sad when she realized her suitcase was gone—but remembered that she had an AirTag in her luggage.

“Thank God I put an Apple tag in that bag,” she said. And via AirTag, James saw that her bag was indeed at LAX—but at a different terminal.

Upon getting to the terminal where her bag was supposed to be, though, James said she still couldn’t find her possessions.

Looking at her AirTag app again, James said she realized that her bag was moving throughout the airport. But it was moving so much that it eventually left LAX.

That’s when James decided to use her boyfriend’s car to chase down her bag.

“Now my boyfriend,” she explained, “is down for this.” James said that he drove, while she tracked the bag via her AirTag app.

Then, the bag stopped moving. James said that she and her boyfriend tracked it down to a nearby house, which had its garage open.

“Inside that garage, there are f*cking hundreds of suitcases. They are all black suitcases, piled floor-to-ceiling,” James said. “Hundreds of them. And there’s a van in the driveway unloading them.”

James called what she witnessed “organized bag theft.” James said her boyfriend eventually retrieved her suitcase from the thieves, but that it was “already emptied.” Then, James called the police. As she did, she said there was a “mass exodus” from the house as all the thieves and cars left.
