My laptop bag is with me during the day, so the only thing in my room is my rollaboard with my clothes and little bitty tubes of tubes of toothpaste and minis. I would be PO'ed if my minis disappeared.

I never leave anything in my rental, and throw the empty end of the phone charging / USB / audio cables on the dash when I park.

Same goes for me. I avoid leaving valuables in bags that I store with/in the hotel, even after I check out.

I have way more stays at hotels than I have flights where I check in luggage, and yet I have had things go missing from bags checked in by the airlines. That said, this only hits me when flying out of an airport where TSA is running "security".
