I've had a bag arrive in my cabin missing its lock and I've had a lock go missing between the time I put my bag out on the last night of the cruise and the time it arrived in the terminal. But there's as good a chance that I didn't turn the numbers as there is that somebody cut it off.:o

 

On a related matter, do any of you use luggage straps? I always fear that they'll either get caught on something or TSA will take them off to inspect my bag at the airport and not bother to put them back on. What are your experiences, if you use them? I have three from the Dazzling December promotion in 2011 and they're just sitting in the closet...

I think the baggage handlers can use them to fling the bags and so I think you will lose them eventually?

I use luggage straps on all my bags and so far have only had one broken. Maybe I've been lucky.....
