Woman Confronted On JetBlue For Stealing Seatmate’s Charging Cable, Then Acts Like She Was Just “Borrowing” It

A woman appears to have been caught red-handed stealing a charging cable onboard a JetBlue flight. When confronted, however, she claimed she was just borrowing it. It’s poor form to touch what does not belong to you.

Woman Swipes Seatmate’s Charging Cable On JetBlue Flight, Later Claims She Was Just Borrowing It

I want to say at the start this is a TikTok video meaning we must take it with a grain of salt…it would not come as a huge surprise if this was staged and the blonde “thief” and the victim even practiced beforehand to make it seem so believable (it is believable). The “thief” appears to be Vanessa Koliver and has made all her social media accounts private (with a large following), which borrows a page from the “crazy plane lady” playbook.

The incident takes place on a JetBlue flight. The video begins when a blonde woman boards the flight and is confronted by a man who asks her if she took his charging cable. He seems angry. She says yes and he begins to lecture her for doing so and demands it back. She claims she was just “borrowing” it and will give it back. He insists she return it immediately and she does.

How did this all happen in the first place? From the context, it appears the JetBlue flight had to deboard but passengers were told to leave their items onboard…that does seem strange as I’ve never been in a situation where I left an aircraft without my bag(s).

Side note: she has too many carry-ons…I wish gate agents would enforce the two-item limit…

It seems that as passengers left the aircraft she saw his cable and grabbed it on her way out (she was seated several rows back). If this is real, someone must have seen her swipe it and informed the owner, who then confronted her on camera.

He’s too dramatic…but if she really swiped it, shame on her and she deserves the blame.

Finally, I’m of the general opinion that when you see something, you leave it. I know many good samaritans want to pick it up and turn it in, thinking it will be safer that way, but if we all just did not touch what wasn’t ours, someone could go back…even hours later…and reclaim what was lost.
