The beauty queen then talked about what she learned from the incident, emphasizing that her family’s safety is the most important thing.
“Things are just things and things can be replaced. Family and their safety is the most important thing.”
She reminded her followers not to “trust” any paid parking facilities in London and to always take their passports and medications with them.
“Don’t place your trust in any paid parking facilities in London City – may they boast CCTV, security etc. Even in the middle of the day for a few hours. We made this mistake and wish we hadn’t. Always take your passports and important medications with you,” she noted.
Catriona also expressed gratitude to people who reached out to her parents to check on them, including those who helped them with the travel arrangements.

Despite the incident, she remained optimistic about being able to spend time with her loved ones.
“At first, I felt that the robbery and the stress that ensued blotted out the joy and happy memories from the special homecoming trip of my dad. But I decided I won’t let the thieves steal that too. Stay safe everyone,” she concluded.
In August, the Miss Universe 2018 titleholder revealed that she and her family were robbed in London while they were having lunch at the airport. She discovered her parked car with a shattered window and found that her personal belongings, including her passport, had been stolen.
