Sun Liu, a Beijing resident who studies in South Korea, told the Global Times that her property was stolen from Terminal 3 of BCIA this February. When she arrived at Gimpo Airport in Seoul, she found that the zip of her suitcase had been moved and discovered a packet of tea worth more than 200 yuan ($32) was stolen.
"I didn't report it to the airport because the tea wasn't expensive and I didn't have evidence," said Sun, "next time I should lock my suitcase."
Peng Kun, from Beijing Yingke Law Office, said that as there is a contract between an airline and its customers, the airline has a duty to protect both their personal and property safety.
"If the stolen goods amount to less than 20,000 yuan, the thief would be sentenced to less than three years, while for over 100,000 yuan, they could get life," he said.
