A buzzed-off Brit was left embarrassed after her suitcase got confiscated due to having a vibrator inside.
Oliwia Krol’s trip abroad took an embarrassing turn when she was left without her suitcase for 24 hours.
The 24-year-old was left ‘panicking’ when she spotted airport staff holding a sign with her name on it, with no sign of her bags.

She was escorted to an office and convinced she was about to be arrested after replaying memories of old episodes of Border Force in her mind.
“I was panicking as I didn’t understand what was happening and was thinking I was in a lot of trouble for something,” Olivia, from Abbey Wood, South East London, told Need To Know.
“In my head, I had different scenarios playing out, scaring me after watching the border force growing up.
“They take me into an office and tell me my bag couldn’t be loaded onto the plane.
“I had no idea what it could be and I thought I was in trouble.”
Olivia had flown from Koh Samui to Bangkok whilst travelling around Thailand on 6 May.
However, her suitcase was not loaded onto the plane due to a prohibited item – which staff thought could be a cigarette lighter.
When she was taken into the office at Bangkok airport, she was informed that they needed her to sign documents to give them permission to search the bag.
She said: “At first they weren’t completely clear about what had flagged the bag.
“They mentioned it could either be a lighter or possibly an intimate item.
“I knew straight away it wasn’t a lighter because I didn’t have one in there, so that made things a little awkward.
“I’ll be honest, I did have a slight thought before flying that maybe I should put the item in checked luggage just in case.
“But I genuinely didn’t think it would cause any issue.”
The item was in fact a vibrator – once she had signed the documents staff were able to search the bag.
She was left without her suitcase for 24 hours when she received an email informing her she could return to the airport to retrieve her bag.
Oliwia said: “My friends found the whole thing hilarious afterwards and haven’t let me forget it since.
“Looking back now, it’s more funny than anything, just a very unexpected travel experience.”
