I can only imagine there are cameras around that area to find out whose actually it was. I'm not saying we are entitled to the money, but I'm more concerned about the skycap's behavior and the rightful owner of the money. Is contacting the airport police really the correct thing to do?
I suppose if it makes you feel better (and certainly if your relatives DO say they lost $100), but this is a case of hindsight being 20/20; the right thing to do (in terms of getting a resolution you would have liked- the cash turned into lost and found) would have been to raise the issue
right then and there. After the fact- I can't see the PoS police making a huge hairy deal out of this. You yourself admitted that the lady who you think lost the money said it wasn't hers, so you don't have unambiguous evidence of any crime, and I wouldn't count on video evidence showing things clearly either. Basically, if you file a report now I'd have pretty low expectations....
