Delta passenger discovers $4,500 in items stolen from checked luggage after flight

"I definitely felt violated," Joyner told Fox 5. "Like, why would somebody do this? Why me?"

While unpacking in her hotel, Joyner noticed her belongings looked disheveled and that her blue Chanel clutch bag and Louis Vuitton clutch were missing. 

According to the report, Joyner said she placed an Apple AirTag in her Chanel bag before flying. Upon tracking the location, Joyner found the tag 30 miles south of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

"I said, 'Let me check my phone,'" Joyner said. "It says it is at a location in Senoia, Georgia, which I've never been to."

"While rare, Delta has zero tolerance for baggage pilferage and will look into what occurred," Delta told the local station." We are reaching out to this customer to make it right."

The Atlanta Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that they are investigating a larceny that Joyner reported, but that the incident report was still in progress and had not yet been finalized.

Fox News Digital reached out to Delta for comment, but they did not immediately responded.

The Atlanta resident said the incident may alter her future travel plans. 

"It's something I'll definitely rethink in the future," Joyner said. "I just never thought this would happen, especially on, you know, Christmas Day, where everything is about joy, giving, kindness."

The incident serves as a reminder to take precautions while traveling, such as placing valuable items in a carry-on or using tracking devices such as AirTags.
