Very sad indeed.

But why did they put their mobiles/wallets in their checked baggages?

Edited:
For those getting angry on my comment above, please understand that theft from checked baggage is a world wide problem, not just PIA specific. Therefore, airlines all around the world advise passengers not to place expensive/valuable items like jewellery mobile phones currency etc in checked baggage.

Hahaha! You have a typical fukced up pakistani mentality. Instead of blaming PIA and their crooked staff in Cargo, you are blaming the customers? This is one of the reasons nothing gets fixed in Pakistan as the people responsible to fix the problem don't even admit there is a problem!

 

[Sher_ka_Shakari]

All the authorities have to do is to interrogate the guys who work at the scanners and every thing will be crystal clear. Through the scanners Only they r the ones who. see each and every single item in the bags.

Brother I have travelled many time on international flights - Even the foreign airlines tell people not to put valuable items in their checked baggage. Don't just blame PIA. its common sense everywhere.

See below details from United Airlines.

So yes customers have to share the blame on this, whether or not you like it. Theft from checked baggage is a world wide problem, not just PIA specific.

only on the international terminal , local terminals have all the white/black folks.??

 

[HSiddiqui]

Each and every baggage handler should be held for this robbery.

 

[bhaibarood]

These are equally to blame for !
These people buy mobiles 3 and 4 mobiles per person during umrah?
These are professional khaipeye aka mules for smuggling of mobiles!
So many young men with mobiles! All of them same design carrying bags !
Same kind of luggage missing! The plot gets thicker!
No doubt Customs crooks and PIA is also chor but these are also choor

True it could be a world wide problem but the world is always introducing laws and regulations to eradicate the problem, not like Pakistan where no one gives a damn as every one is involved in it. All it takes is some security cameras to monitor the cargo area to catch the thieves.

Yes, but the advice stays the same: Don't put your valuable in the checked baggage, International Airlines will not be responsible for their loss.

7.4 Restrictions on Checked Baggage ( Australia)
You must not include in your Checked Baggage:

• fragile, delicate or perishable items
• computers
• items with a special value, such as money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware
• negotiable papers, share certificates, securities or other valuable documents
• cameras
• personal electronic equipment including compact discs
• commercial goods or business documents, or passports and other travel documents.

If you carry items in contravention of these Conditions of Carriage, we will use all available defences against any claim in respect of any damage, loss or destruction of those items.
https://www.qantas.com/au/en/book-a-trip/flights/conditions-of-carriage.html#--baggage

United: (America)

If you choose to pack high-value, fragile or perishable items in or as checked baggage in connection with travel within the United States, United is not liable for the loss of, damage to or delay in delivery of such items. For most international travel, United's liability for destruction, loss, delay or damage to checked and unchecked baggage is limited.

And what does this have to do with PIA?

 

[Saboo]

Hahaha If you don't think its PIA's problem that customer's valuables are being stolen at the airport by their staff then there is no sense discussing it with you!

You do realize that PIA is an airline. It is not a baggage handling company. And the guy in the video clearly mentioned Saudi airline.

Please don't discuss.

All drama....who put mobiles and cash in the luggage.....
