“Apparently you missed the part that indicated “the owner of the bag contacted the police.””
It’s NORMAL to fill out a police report when the airlines cannot find your bag, especially if it contains expensive items. I’ve filled out one once for this very reason. It’s not being “racists”, it’s the way the system works.
That is still all irrelevant to the story. Him NOT reporting the incident on the medical was the issue and that again is the way that the system works.
