So the bags were sitting around there for nearly 4 hours. When we got into Birmingham, three flights arrived at the same time, the bags were all out and going round the carousel thing within two mins of everyone going through passport control I don't think they had the time to break locks off two bags and take things out.
200 bags on your flight (roughly). 4 seconds between each bag (can't be far away). Over 13 minutes from first to last bag on the conveyor belt - easily enough time to break in to a few bags. Even more so if a few flights landed at the same time and were using the same conveyor. The "Thief Row" comment previously could be made about other UK airports as well.0
