they're such a serious lot over on the BA page aren't they?

I see Matron has just waded into the thread.

I would never steal a safety card, but other things not fixed to the aircraft, well...

Some "customers" have been stealing bmi mementoes from the old bmi aeroplanes in the remaining days before they disappear forever under a coat of British Airways paint.

From the variety of stuff that's been available on eBay, from single sellers listing multiple items, it's quite obvious that should also read....

Some "employees"

I noticed in the BA thread that there is call to report "souvenir hunters", oh deary me.

PS: safety vests are definitely a no go.

PPS: I wonder if they had thieving bmi pax in mind (http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/ba-to-roll-out-a-know-mea-initiative): BA says that “The most recent advancement of the system enables the British Airways team to search Google images for a photo of specific customers, so they can recognise them as soon as they enter the airport or aircraft and proactively approach them”. :D

Do I get the impression that stealing safety stuff from planes is somewhat acceptable behaviour on the bmi forum? For once I'm with the BA forum!

BA says that “The most recent advancement of the system enables the British Airways team to search Google images for a photo of specific customers, so they can recognise them as soon as they enter the airport or aircraft and proactively approach them”

....or not.
