Maylin Pérez recently reported on social media that she lost 70,000 pesos that were inside a package sent on a bus trip from Granma to Havana on June 29.
The affected individual explained on Facebook that the money, which was in a briefcase, was given to the driver Hanoy in Veguitas. He operates the bus 0855 for the company Víazul, which covers the Havana-Bueycito-Manzanillo route.
He explained that he regularly used the driver’s parcel services, who charged for it, which is why he didn’t feel the need to disclose the contents of the package.
"I failed by not telling him the contents of the briefcase," emphasized Pérez, who claimed that on many other occasions he had sent money this way without ever being asked about the contents of the package.
He stated that the briefcase, secured with a strap and containing a smaller one with the money, never reached its destination.
Pérez expressed his frustration, highlighting the effort and sacrifice behind the lost money. He also mentioned that this is not the first time losses have been reported by individuals using this bus service, warning other users about the risks involved.
In his statement, he emphasized that the only crew member who showed concern was Yoan, describing him as a good kid, while the others did not express any interest in the matter.
The affected individual concluded her account by urging users to be very careful when using the services of this bus's package and transport, warning that “there is a thief among the crew.”
It is very painful that the money a person manages to save, in a country where the salary barely covers a week of food, is stolen. The same goes for the belongings one typically carries on a trip.
A Cuban woman reported on social media that she was a victim of luggage theft on Monday, February 12, while traveling from Havana to Pinar del Río in a private vehicle shared with other passengers.
The internet user Patricia del Llano explained that on that day she left from the bus terminal in Havana and claims that another passenger, who boarded from the same place as her, got off at the Ova bridge carrying luggage that did not belong to her.
Other reports related to luggage theft have been made by newcomers from abroad who have fallen victim to thefts along the road from José Martí International Airport to the center of the capital.
