Thieving Indian!

It was 430am in India, we met as a crew in the lobby ready for the long flight home from Bangalore, little did i know what was about to unfold between the hotel and the airport.
We boarded the crew transport, the front rows left and right were occupied with a security guard and a member of hotel staff, rows 2 left and right were empty apart from crews bags left on seats, bags were also in rows one with the security man and hotel staff member, i sat in row three on the left and a first officer sat in the third row on the right, the rest of the crew were dotted about behind me.
I had been aware of keeping an eye on my luggage and that of others for security reasons so my attention was drawn to the hotel staff member who was sitting at the front of the bus, he kept looking to see if anyone was looking, my bag was next to him but nothing of value was in it as i always keep my smaller bag next to me.
After about ten minutes of "shifty" behaviour he stood up, checked the air con outlets above the seat as if to say his were not working and he moved to row behind, now sitting in front of a pilot, he was using his newspaper as a smokescreen to hide his arms and hands so i kept watching, in the end i asked the first officer to look between the seats, he saw nothing so turned to the captain who was sitting behind and suggested it may be a good idea to move his bag which was next to this staff member.
When the captain retrieved his bag he had a look in and noticed his wallet was missing, the staff member stood up and asked what the problem was, the Pilot leaned to over to the row he had been sitting and found the captains wallet jammed between the two seat cushions.
This guy had been rumbled, he was shocked and obviously knew there was no escape and his job had just been taken from him.
After numerous telephone calls from the crew transport we were met at the airport by security and hotel staff and they were going to hand him over to the police and charge him with theft.
I became the hero of the day, i was chuffed with the result as i had read on crew online forums about missing i-pods, wallets, cameras etc etc but the source had never been found as once crew get to the aircraft or possibly back home to UK, this is when you discover you have lost something and cannot trace it back.
I will never leave my bag unattended ever again as it they can take something out, they could also put something in.
Safety First!!!
