Left Luggage Warning

[Steveubon]

Like a prat I left a case for a week at the left luggage office didn't lock it and on collecting it didn't check the contents on collection but when I did lo and behold my coat and about 300 quids worth of watches had evaporated my own fault but just a word of warning to anyone else using the service to be careful I wasn't so hence the situation described

^^ What forum is this posted in Traxter?

My recollection from the few times that I have left luggage at the Level 1 luggage repository is them asking if the bag is locked; I assumed they don't accept an unsecured bag. They also rejected one of my bags when they scanned it because they 'saw' a mobile phone in the bag and they don't accept anything, locked or otherwise, that has electronics in it. I dug out an old mp3 player I had forgotten about, re-locked the bag, they re-scanned it and were happy. Watches aren't strictly electronics but there is something in the paperwork you sign regarding valuables. I mean leaving watches in an unlocked bag?

Leaving a bag ANYWHERE unlocked presents the opportunist thief. There's a thread running about stuff being lifted from someone's hand carry whilst it was unlocked in the overhead locker.

You obviously no better but I always lock my bag at these places and wouldn't put anything valuable in anyway, doesn't mean it's not annoying when someone blatently steals from you though :/
