Woman's Apple Watch Uncovers Thieving Airport Employee's Dirty Little Secret!

A shop worker at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in South Florida has been charged with stealing thousands of dollars in electronics and clothing after a passenger used an Apple Watch feature to track her missing luggage to his home. According to a Broward County Sheriff's Office affidavit, the suspect, identified as Bazile, was working at a store in the airport on the day the luggage disappeared.

The passenger, identified as Garcia, reported her luggage missing after her flight was canceled and she retrieved it from the airport's baggage carousel. She waited for over two hours but the bag never arrived. Garcia then used an Apple feature to "ping" her electronic items... which led her to realize they were at a home in Fort Lauderdale.

She traveled to the address the following day but was unable to make contact with the residents. A detective searched internal employee databases at the airport and discovered the address matched Bazile's work location. The exact timing and method of the theft are unclear. Garcia was unable to recover her stolen items.

Paradies Lagardère, the company where Bazile worked, issued a statement saying it took the incident "very seriously" and immediately terminated Bazile. According to the Washington Post, "Bazile was charged with grand theft and has a hearing set for August." Spirit Airlines, "the airline on which Garcia was traveling.".. issued a reimbursement check to the passenger "as a courtesy" but stated it was "not aware of any evidence that any Spirit employee was involved.

A shop worker at a South Florida airport was charged with stealing thousands of dollars in electronics and clothing after a woman showed up to his home looking for missing luggage that she tracked to his address by using a signal from her Apple Watch. The affidavit from the Broward County Sheriff's Office says Garcia's flight was canceled and passengers were advised to retrieve their luggage from a carousel at the airport. She told the local news station she stood waiting for the bag, which contained a laptop she needed for her university studies, at a carousel for at least two hours.
But it never arrived. Garcia told Local 10 News that she normally carries the bag on board with her, but on this occasion, Spirit Airlines employees forced her to check it.
