Thiefrow
n.— «Thiefrow airport has got a terrible reputation. If anything is stolen from your suitcase, and you passed through London, you can bet it got nicked at Thiefrow. I once saw a TV programme where hidden cameras filmed Thiefrow baggage handlers opening any suitcase they fancied and stealing anything they wanted.» —“Gang steals 1.75 mil pounds from Heathrow Airport” by ironsword Japan Today Feb. 7, 2004.
