Keyonne says he left his carry-on bag at the Spirit gate counter on February 19. He was headed back to Los Angeles from his uncle's funeral in New Orleans, that's when he got in a disagreement with the agent over doing a gate check of his large suitcase.
“She said that I'd have to reschedule my flight instead of doing a gate check, and I knew that was not true because of my travels with my nonprofit.”
He asked for a manager and paid an extra fee to take it on the plane, but he forgot his small carry on at the desk.
He was told to file a lost and found report when he got home, but when his carry-on never showed up there, he requested the video from Armstrong International. And that's when he says he saw the gate agent, and others he never interacted with, taking his things. It appears they hand off some belongings, while pouring his life-saving medication out, while taking cell phone pictures and laughing, and throwing his keys away.
“There were my house keys, my car keys. When I got back to L.A., I was not able to get into my home right away. I was not even able to start my car. Everything was halted until I paid locksmiths,” Brooks said.
In the bag was valuable jewelry. One pendant was a very sentimental family heirloom. Keyonne says he got a members of the New Orleans City Council, Councilmen Green and Giarrusso, involved, who told him Spirit, and GAT Airline Ground Support, would make him whole again. But he says those companies are only agreeing to pay part of his loss now. So, he's hired an attorney.

I absolute despise TSA and haven’t flown in over 20 years to avoid any interaction with them.
+1 !
Nasty, evil staff!!
It immediately goest to their head and they want to lord it over others.
Pretty sure it was Spirit employees and not TSA agents at the gate who gleefully rifled through the bag and threw away the contents?
What is wrong with you?
Likewise. Actually, the last time I flew commercial was in 1990.
pretty sure that wasn’t TSA but spirit airlines gate agents
most likely a dem troll posing as a racist freeper
I knew it would be Amish women
Who wants to bet on the skin color of tbe tbieves?
What did TSA have to do with this?
That’s like making a blanket statement over police officers or any profession.
You’re probably unaware of just how many ex and retired police, fire, military, bomb tech’s work there.
They should be looking at criminal charges for the employees as well as civil liability for Spirit.
Props to Mr Brooks for having the gumption to pursue getting the facts. The story said the NASTY Spirit employees were “suspended”. I sure hope that doesn’t mean they get to go back to work after a small “time out”. They deserved to be fired.
Who cares? Doesn’t matter one iota, they are dirtbags of the lowest order REGARDLESS of “skin color”.
