General Don't you just love the airlines! (BA in particular)

Bit of a downer to the Loungers holiday. After just 2 hours in Spain we were targeted by some bastard who smashed a window of the rental car. Got away with lap top, tablets, clothes and cash. All happened in less than a few minutes when we stopped for some bread and milk. Apparently this is now common in the bigger towns. Rental cars are followed and targeted as ripe pickings. Car was insured, contents not. First trip abroad for 3 years and this happens. Yes, we shouldn't have left the car and yes, we are gutted.

That really is crap.

You literally cannot leave anything anywhere anymore.

I hope it does not affect your holiday.

Sorry to hear that. Whereabouts in Spain are you?

We're staying in Frigiliana, small Andalucian town inland from Nerja. Nerja is a cess pit these days but is the nearest place with real supermarkets. Been coming here for nearly 10 years and never any bother.
The Gardia Civil were good but have no hope of recovery or an arrest.

Woken up this morning by Mrs Lounger clutching her phone and clearly upset. "We've had an email from British Airways"

Wonderful customer service and ever so sympathetic to their passengers they had sent the following:

Great! They had already changed our outbound flight and now they wanted to just leave us in Spain. Fortunately, after several minutes on the laptop and much cursing, we are re-booked on a flight back to Heathrow. Lucky for us our travel arrangements could be altered to match and the taxi booked to collect us worked out cheaper from Heathrow.
We may start drinking a little earlier today. I hate to think what others are going to be facing this summer.
Oh, yes, don't even think about calling the BA customer service number. They are all working from home - the one home, the one without a phone.

Mrs Bazzer also says she hopes you’re both ok and hopefully this won’t spoil your holiday to much
