Happened to my uncle and aunt in December. A few days before they were meant to leave the country. Courier company limited their liability also.

Inside job. Definitely.

That sucks - passports gone for the holiday you are about to have, or if you have valid visas in the passports then you have to start from scratch again.

surely youd still qualify for emergency passport?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Definitely an inside job, and someone is bugging out of the country on fake credentials very shortly.

You would be able to get a emergency passport. but for instance if you still have a 10 year visa for USA for example then you would have to re-apply. Not sure how that would work.

I should renew my passport or not?

Apparently one of the hijackers was in jmpd uniform.

Probably a company that does it for you and they were sending a batch.

That really sucks.

 

[Batista]

Identity theft incoming.
