i flew from JFK T7 (BA's terminal) on Sat 7th March 09 to London. I was travelling with 3 children and we had lots of hand luggage. at x-ray, we were told (as usual) to remove clothing, shoes, babies from strollers and all hand luggage and laptop to be placed in individual grey bins. we were directed to the line which normally services airline crew. when we got through we loaded everything in the grey bins that had gone through x-ray onto the strollers and carried the babies. 10 mins later whilst waiting by starbucks i realised that i hadn't picked up my laptop. i went back downstairs to find that it was no where to be seen. there were no other passengers near and i can only assume that one of the 10 or so security people that were hanging around took it. does anyone know if this has happened to anyone before? thanks in advance.
