we've been back from the dom rep 8 hrs, when we got home we realised out of a party of 28, 8 peoples cases have been broken into, personal items such as digital cameras, sentimental jewellery, and MP3 players, to obtain these items our locks were sawn off our cases!!!!!this is disgusting, this is a warning to all, all these items are not covered in your insurance if you try to claim, you need to pack these items in your hand luggage because you wont get a penny back!!!!!
The only way that these items could have been located is most likely as the cases have been passed through a scanner. For example, people who hadnt got anything expensive packed, their cases were not touched. Wrapping up your items in clothes has NOT worked.
Sorry if we have caused any distress or concern due to your expectations of the Dominican Republic. Please reply if anything like this has happened to you.
