A man filed a class-action lawsuit against United Airlines after the company lost his luggage.
Jack Lipeles alleged in the suit that United falsely told him his luggage was stolen.
When Lipeles arrived in Los Angeles, "he went to pick up his luggage, but was unable to find his bag.
United informed Plaintiff that his luggage was stolen and that he should speak to the police to report the stolen luggage," the federal lawsuit, filed in California in late August, said.
Reached for comment, a spokesperson for United declined to comment on the suit, calling it an "ongoing legal matter."
