SXB, just a different kind of luck and misfortune. I had stuff stolen from hold baggage (boy I'm begging to talk like you Brits, that is checked-in baggage) but never anything taken in the hotels. In fact I had forgot stuff in hotels and they kept it safe waiting for me to come back.
It happens a lot, see everyone across the board is complaining.
So the terrorist Big Scare had made the Smart Fat August for someone.
