Alert: Lost 2 of my watches at the airport

Post by Badern » 04 Dec 2014 19:52

Hi All,
Have some sad news and need some help.
I came back from a trip to HK last night. Due to the amount of baggage and the need to run after a 4year old girl, I decided to place 2 of my watches in one of my bags that went got checked in as luggage.

I thought all would be well since i never had issues with my luggage bags.
However, to my horror when I picked up the bag at the luggage belt, the bag's zipper was broken and the box holding my watches were missing!

here is the box that I used to keep the watches safe. Its actually a GG box. (phone next to it to provide scale)

The two watches missing are my

You can see the serial number here : 9N0135


and

Maranez BWB LE bronze watch

it was on a blue canvas strap with helberg buckle

(no pics of this one)

Needless to say I am distressed and pissed (with myself mostly)that this happened.

I ask the members here to help keep a look out on these 2 watches . If ever these 2 watches matching the description comes up for sale do let me know.

I am asking for insurance and Tiger Air for compensation but unlikely to be able to cover the costs.

Thanks in advance.....

Sorry to hear that. Do you think the watches were stolen while at HK airport or when you got at SG? I can't imagine this happening at SG airport.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I guess those video circulating about airport staff stealing from customer's luggage is true after all. Please be careful in future. Hope you can claim from the airport or airline involved.
