Yesterday at MIA, our plane (flight 465 to ORD) was broken into during the night and the alcohol stolen. After a Dade County sheriff came on board to look it over, the gate agent glossed over the situation saying the on board staff thought maybe the cleaners took the drink bottles. However, quite a few passengers were very concerned about the possibility that someone entering the plane to steal could also bring something like a bomb on board also. I would say over 20 passengers bailed. Some came back when they learned that they would have a 2 1/2 day wait for another flight. Cruise passengers.

We saw no evidence that anyone was searching for unwanted items in the cabin. Between this and 2 mechanical issues, we thought UA should have flown in another plane for us. However, they spent 4 hours on repairs, etc and we departed and landed with no incident. Thank God.
