My two friends just returned from Paris and Spain.
On their way to CDG airport to fly home, this happened.
They booked a shuttle shared service, sounds like a mini bus, from their hotel to CDG.
On board was a man who kept looking at them and then followed behind them all through the airport as they left the bus.
They didn’t clock him right away.
As they had large cases, they waited for an elevator up to wherever check in was.
He did the same.
They got in and he all of a sudden starting frantically pushing all the buttons over and over, distracting my friends.
At the same time one noticed her big wallet with passport in it was gone, she shouted and he held it up in the air.
The doors hadn’t opened yet and she snatched it back.
Of course he ran off.
They went to airport authorities right away but were told this is happening constantly.
This friend had the wallet in a crossbody bag held tightly under one arm for the whole 3 week trip with no problems, but he made such a confusion she must have loosened her grip.
My question is: was he in league with the shuttle driver to be able to get on board one, or are thieves now spending money for tickets in order to steal yours??
