I wuz robbed!

I am on a business trip this week. Monday night, I packed for 3 nights away including the jewelry and accessories to go with my various outfits. So.....Wednesday morning, I was at the hotel and looked in my suitcase for the jewelry box and........no jewelry box! I took everything out of the suitcase looking for it......still no jewelry box! I called my mom and asked her to go to my house and look to see if I mistakenly left it sitting on my dresser or something. No. So.....that means that the TSA jamoke who searched my bag at the Detroit airport now has my jewelry! Of course I have no proof. I'm only missing about $300 worth of necklaces and earrings.....

I guess the lesson here is that you should never pack anything like that.... put it in your purse or carry-on. I know that now....

The one thing that makes me suspicious is that I was "lucky" enough to be upgraded to first class. As a result, they put some sort of special yellow tag on my luggage when I checked in. Now, I'm thinking that the searchers must think, "first class, let's check for valuables..."

My jewelry's gone. It was worth more in sentimental value than retail value. (2 gold necklaces. The rest was costume jewelry) I'm just ticked off and want to pass on the warning to any of you that may be traveling soon.
