I feel your pain at losing your memories. You thought and reacted just as I did when told I had to check my carry-on upon boarding. JoJo is absolutely right, those sitting in the rear of the plane will be "told" to check their carry-on. They rushed me and didn't give me time to remove my valuables. When i arrived, yes my lap top was gone. This was Miami, so it's not a MBJ scam. It's the presence of an opportunity to steal.

Again, Irine's husband, I'm very sorry this happened to you. And if your lovely wife still wants to go to Florida next year, just look forward to the chance to create new memories with her.
