A ‘serial’ baggage thief managed to steal more than a dozen pieces of luggage from the San Diego International Airport earlier this year, ABC 10News has learned.
Some of the convicted criminal’s victims are still wondering what happened to their belongings more than eight months after their suitcases were stolen from baggage carousels inside the airport.
Inside the senior’s bag was clothing for his vacation to San Diego with his wife including a beloved Padres tie he wears to Sunday church.Internal Harbor Police documents obtained through a public records request by Team 10 show a man named Alberto Estrada was busted for swiping some bags back in February.
Team 10 started investigating the thefts after getting a tip that someone was stealing bags from the airport and taking them to North County to sell the items at a swap meet.According to an affidavit filed by a Harbor Police officer in support of a search warrant for Estrada’s phone, officers found key cards for two hotels in Escondido when they arrested him near the airport on February 1st.
A spokesperson for Motel 6 said there is nothing more important to the company than the safety of its guests. The managing editor of The Points Guy travel website said he advises air passengers to avoid checking valuables into baggage and tries to not check a bag at all.
