Hanging washed clothes out to dry has its risks.

Two members of a household in Lipa City, Batangas lost their brand new garments to a clothesline thief early this month. The theft was recorded by the home’s security camera, but the male culprit could not be identified and was not found, according to GMA News.

People can also lose their clothes when traveling by plane. When Alaa Tannous and his wife, Nancy, flew on Air Canada on 25 May 2022, the airline lost their checked luggage, New York Post (NYP) reports.

With their clothes and other belongings gone, an Air Canada employee advised them to replace the missing items and the airline would reimburse them.

The Tannous then bought toiletries, skincare and makeup, two pairs of pants, three shirts, a dress, four sets of lingerie, sleepwear, underwear, jeans and two tees totaling 3,435 Canadian dollars.

But Air Canada refused to reimburse them the amount and instead offered a meager $250 in compensation, NYP reports.

The lost luggage was quickly found the next day, however, and was delivered to the couple’s hotel in Vancouver, a delay of less than 24 hours, but the couple had already checked out.

The dispute over the reimbursement amount reached the Canadian Transportation Agency which ordered the airline to pay the Tannous 2,079 Canadian dollars.

Air Canada sued the Tannous, arguing that their claim was unreasonable for losing their luggage for less than a day, according to NYP.
