Yeah, that stinx. I had a bad event coming to Jamaica a few years ago. I fell asleep on the plane coming down and just got off the plane. When I went to exchange some money at the airport(yep, I still was a rookie), I realized that my wallet was missing (I figure it slipped out of my back pocket while sleeping). After a few tense moments and talking to the people at Delta, I finally got my wallet back but it was minus $600 I just grabbed the night before for the trip(I filled out a complaint too but never heard back about it). Fortunately, they left all my credit cards in my wallet, so I was able to still enjoy my trip. I'm positive the staff working the landed plane emptied my wallet so it was a lesson learned. My wallet is always in my front cargo pants pocket and all my valuables are always in my backpack that I take with my carry on. But with all that, I'm still going to keep coming back to Negril....

I flew Southwest last week for the first time and I was amazed at how much space in the overheads there was even on a packed flight because of the free bag they allow.

Hey Bob, 2 checked bags are free on Southwest. I've flown SW from Raleigh to MBJ since 2013. I especially like the ability to choose my own seat once I board. They beat Delta from here, especially since Delta charges $35 per checked bag and their ridiculous "Basic Economy" fare scheme. Tell Janet I said "hello."

OK so when I said 'MBJ scam' I still thought it was the small carry-on that was taken, which you have to admit, would be very unusual. Sad, but there are thieves everywhere.
I never bring luggage on a plane, usually because there are things in there that cannot get through security (e.g. booze, wee cutlass) but I wonder if carrying a simple zip tie and using that to tie the zippers together (should your luggage be taken from you on the jetbridge) would 1. be allowed and 2. be enough to dissuade the bad guys, er bad people. Actual locks may work even better, you are already through security, your bag shouldn't be screened again.
In any case, I feel bad for your loss but am glad you shared your story so that we can learn from it.
Wow, sorry to hear that! That can kill a vacation buzz really quick. I always use zip ties, and bring a few extras. The way I see it, if the right people want to look through it they will, the wrong few probably don’t have too much time, and with the sip tie as a deterrent. Hopefully they will move on to the next bag. I also carry a small travel bag, about 4x5x10, with all my important items, cash and wallet. Usually my $1 & $5 tip money takes up a huge portion of this! Hopefully the wife will remember how much she loves Negril and forget all about Fla. by next year.
Like the zip tie idea, will be doing that for sure. I also find the inspection slips often as well, but never when I give up my carry on, just in my checked baggage.

That sucks! Sorry this happened to you.
Just curious, would travel insurance cover something like this (cell phone or laptop being stolen)?
