Flying Air France recently cost some passengers a lot more than the ticket price. A flight attendant for the airline has been arrested in Paris on charges of stealing cash, credit cards, and jewelry from sleeping passengers.

Light-fingered Lucie admitted to robbing 27 passengers, and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted, the New York Daily News reports.
