Fendi bag and Tag Heuer watch: Singapore tourists lose over $15k in branded goods on Europe tour bus
A group of tourists, including several from Singapore, lost over $15,000 worth of luxury goods after they were stolen from their tour bus in Europe.
One of the five victims, surnamed Huang, told Shin Min Daily News that she joined an 11-day Europe tour with her mother, which started on Dec 13.
There were a total 33 people in the tour group, which visited several countries including France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Italy.
Huang, 38, recounted that the incident happened at about 9pm, when the group left the bus for dinner.
The secretary realised her newly-purchased items, including a Saint Laurent bag worth $2,734, were gone after the group returned to the bus some 45 minutes later.
Huang said she placed her purchases inside her luggage, which was stored inside the vehicle's storage compartment, before leaving for dinner.
When she returned, her entire luggage was missing.
«It was the first time I bought a [branded] bag, and it was lost so quickly. It was heartbreaking,» said Huang.
