Two went missing once, no note, the bags do not appear to have been opened. I rather suspect they started to open them and realized how much work it was going to be to undo the strapping and decided not to have a look.
Since then we've had one bag opened, love note, the lock and straps were replaced but the straps were loose. The likely culprit was a couple of frying pans she was taking to a sister.
