Stolen Luggage

Did you ever think that your suitcase could get stolen at Hartsfield airport? Yes it can and I am the first to let you know. I flew to Baltimore over the Memorial weekend to visit my brother and nephews. My trip was a lot of fun, I took my nephews to see the movie "Shrek" and to Six Flags. My children and I returned on Memorial day and when I arrived into Atlanta, my bag was no where to be found. I checked in the baggage office and they advised me that the bag was scanned in Atlanta on Monday but they were not able to locate my suitcase. My only concern was that I had brought back 2 half gallons of ice cream from Pennsylvania and I didn't want it to melt all over our clothes. The baggage service advised me that my bag was probably stolen because this is the time of the year that thieves walk around baggage claim and steals passengers bags trying to find valuable. Good thing I didn't have any valuables in my suitcase. We filed a lost baggage report and left the airport. On Wednesday, my husband gets a call from the Greyhound bus station in downtown Atlanta advising that my bag was at the station. We left the baggage office know and they arranged for the bag to be picked up from the bus station and deliver it to the airport. On Thursday, my husband needed to go and inspect the bag and to make sure everything was there. The only thing that was missing was the 2 half gallons of ice cream and we had a shirt in there that did not belong to us. All I can say is if you check bags during the peak season of traveling, be sure to go straight to baggage and get your bag before you do anything else.
