When vintage rocker Alice Cooper arrived at Heathrow on Tuesday the 9th of June he was looking forward to viewing some of his collection of 300 obscure horror movie DVDs while on tour. Unfortunately his big bag of horror had been lost in transit.

He was so desperate to get his collection back that he offered a reward of two tickets and backstage passes for his ‘Theatre of Death’ tour. A spokesman for BA has now reported that his bag of irreplaceable movies has been safely returned. It wasn’t disclosed where the bag had been lost or if the reward had been provided.

Mr Cooper’s experience highlights the need for insurance when travelling with valuables. It’s always best to keep precious items with you in your hand baggage if that is possible.

BTW – There are currently some great Heathrow airport hotel deals that include airport parking in with the cost of the room. Worth booking in advance if you are travelling from Heathrow.
