They might have cut your purse strings, taken your wallet or Airline tickets. Watch your bags closely in the restroom. They may not even be safe in the stalls. If you place them on the floor next to the door or on the coat hook, a thief might reach under or over the door, grab them and run. If your bags aren t uniquely marked, they will be able to blend into the crowd and be gone by the time you make it out.
Some airports provide a shelf in the stall, if it is there be sure to use it.
If you have a choice, pick the stall next to the wall and place luggage between you and the wall. As always, if someone approaches you with a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Approach any such deals with a great deal of caution. If you are a victim of a crime in an airport, note the time and the location and notify security immediately. Noting the time and location may help investigate the crime since many airports have extensive security camera coverage.
