Flight was uneventful and I slept for the most part. When we landed I headed of to the Wing and checked for my cash....to my horror it had gone!
I can only assume I was robbed whilst I slept
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you think I would have had any recourse?
I have no answer to your questions.
But, I would never put that much cash anywhere but on my body...
I just came back from Europe with over $5K in cash. I had the money in an envelope and that was in one of the pockets of one of those little passport carriers that hangs in the front of you, suspended with a small strap around your neck (sorry, I do not know what the proper term is for that contraption).
I had it hanging inside of my shirt. For going thru security I put it on the bottom of my small backpack.
