[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to everyone for your comments. Well, almost everyone - what's with the need to kick someone when they're down around here? I said that should I have known better than to check the laptop, and that I'd learned that lesson. No need to remind me another twenty times or so - the $1500 bill to replace it will be enough! Even if they hadn't taken my computer, I've never seen a warning not to check baby shower presents and bras, but those were stolen too.

I more wanted to post to ask for suggestions (there are some great ones here, and I will pursue many of them. sincerely, thank you) and also to warn folks about this happening. Sure, you hear about it and read the little warning on the back of your ticket, but if I had read this post last week, I wouldn't have checked my stuff. Simple as that.

Someone pointed out that, if it's this easy to slip stuff out of a bag, it must be equally easy to slip stuff into one. That's a really scary thought to me. I am surprised that TSA and the airlines don't have cameras on the bags every inch of their way.

And someone else asked why I think it happened at National. Of course I can't be certain, but I checked in well in advance of my flight and my bag sat with US Airways for at least 45 minutes or so. I got it within a couple minutes of getting off the shuttle in NYC - super fast, with little time for mischief. So I figure that there's a larger chance that something happened in DC, but who knows?

Thanks again for your comments and suggestions. I appreciate your kind words and helpful ideas.[/quote]

I don't know if you don't get out much or what but people steal all the time. I guess I should warn you not to leave your GPS in plain sight in your car. Someone may steal it. [/quote]

This is EXACTLY why I leave all of my bras in a safe. Gosh OP, you are so ignorant for not also keeping your undergarments under lock and key. [/quote]

[i]Especially [/i]my maternity and nursing bras--they were so lovely, and roughly the size of a hammock.   :D[/quote]
