A Singaporean tourist experienced a distressing incident during a European tour when her expensive bag was stolen from the bus while she was having dinner.
In December 2024, Ms Huang took her mother on a tour of Europe that covered France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. On the last night of the Dec 13-23 tour, the 38-year-old secretary, her mother and the other 31 tourists got off their bus at about 9pm for dinner in Milan. When they returned to the bus about 45 minutes later, Ms Huang saw that her newly-bought $2,734 Yves Saint Laurent bag was missing.
'Before getting off the bus, I put the new bag in a luggage bag and stowed it in the overhead compartment.‘ She lost her new Fendi bag, TAG Heuer watch, Louis Vuitton wallet, €350 ($492) in cash, headphones, power banks and other personal belongings. 'This is my first time traveling in Europe, and I didn't expect to encounter something like this on a tour bus,' she said. The women were advised by the bus driver and their tour guide to return to the hotel to rest and make a police report the following day. 'On the day we arrived in Milan, the driver said the door was faulty, which I thought it was too coincidental,' said Ms Huang
