So my dad bought some wine in Europe, and had to carry it all day until finally returning home. They labeled it fragile when it was sent back through the plane, and my parents found their luggage rummaged through, and two bottles of expensive European wine gone.
Yes, they were mad, and airport wouldn't do anything -- who says they didn't just take the wine out, mess up their luggage and returned?
My dad wondered if it was arrestable/punishable by law if he infused the wine bottles with laxative in the event where it happened again.
Well, if the following is true, then it might:
comment: this person is 5th place for the Stella awards, anmed after an 81-year-old who spilled coffee on herself then sued McDonalds and won.
5. Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't reenter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of $500,000.
