You actually saw it being nicked or the bottle was just missing?

I would tend to think it more likely being replaced by staff (and maybe forgotten) rather than having been stolen, but either is certainly plausible.

Sorry, I should have said, that was reported by the attendant who was standing by ito prevent anyone using that stall

This happens in my gym often. And it’s nailed to the wall. Little does the thief know it’s Aldi shampoo refill from a vat into the Elemis bottle…

I bet very few people know the difference.

I do the same when I find elderly nuns adrift in airports - as one used to, on a regular basis, at BHD and DUB. There's fewer of them now. Some are given only a small amount of pocket money for their travel but it's typically a meagre amount and not nearly enough if, for example, a flight were to be delayed and they had to incur immediate expenses and seek reimbursement afterwards. I used to scoup them up and bring them into the BHD or DUB lounge with me, whereupon they'd look amazed that so much food was (i) available and (ii) free at the point of delivery. Then they usually settled quietly into a corner with a sandwich and tea. I did spot a Cardinal once in the QF First Lounge at Sydney - and he wasn't drinking tea.

I recently observed 2 guys, put over a dozen cans of coke in a bag. I was tempted to report them but struggled to find a staff member!

I'm glad this thread is back!
I don't think we have discussed the scenario where a crisp accidentally drops into your bag and you then take it out of the lounge. Is that stealing or not? We need to know!

In law, theft must be a deliberate act.

Is there much case law on accidental theft or theft by clumsiness? :D

"Honest guv, his brand new iPhone fell into my pocket, I was as surprised as he was"

I confess. Last week I helped out the IFL by procurring two cans of Brewdog for my CE flight. Knowing that we had a seven row CE cabin and only two cans loaded on the bar, I thought I would help them avoid disappointing customers. Or this customer.

They still ran out.

Except the difference in price! ;)

Last year at Christmas time, I took two ginger bread snow man cookies from Galleries North to fortify me for the flight to Copenhagen.
No one seemed to mind :), and they were wonderful!

Is this habit-forming behaviour?

I'm glad it's back too, was hugely entertaining and it took semantics, nit-picking and holier-than-thou attitudes to a whole new level. It also inspired my FT signature too....I had never even bothered one for some 15 years until this thread came along :D:D

Thief!! Thief!!!


Am I doing this right?;):p
