As an ex-customs officer, I certainly wouldnt have risked my job using private passport numbers to bully, intimidate or harrass someone just because a friend of a friend of a friend is pissed off with them. Sorry but they cant put an alert on this guy just because they want to scare him.... And what are they going to do with the passport number?? Even if somehow you found out the exact flight details, there are several staff on the primary lines, so each one would have to know the number, each one would have to keep an eye for him (cos they have nothing better to do) then do what when and if they get him???? Do you have any idea how many people come thru primary lines throughout Australia every day????? You are dreaming!!!!! And the bike???? What has that got to do with customs??? Its still in Bali safe and sound!!!
Your mate got his bike back, All be it with the dramatics, so all is good. By the way did your friend have a licence to rent his bike out????? I wouldnt be pushing the issue.....Time to move on.....
